the artist friendly label.

Dear Guins,

I hope you’re all having a restful week back if you attended Coachella, and to those who may be attending Stagecoach, sending you all lots of energy and hope you have a great time! 

This week the Guins have been moving steadily as some projects continue to be developed in preparation of the summertime. In the meantime, we also have some Guins who have been busy with upcoming performances… 

Asha Imuno Lights Up The Independent

In the whirlwind of his ongoing tour with Berhana, I caught Asha Imuno's energizing set last night in San Francisco. The venue was buzzing and alive as it was his second to last destination of the tour. Next up, he’s bringing that same incredible vibe to LA on the 27th at The Bellwether—don’t miss out! 

A First for Guin Records on COLORS

We’re thrilled to share that Asha Imuno has graced the COLORS stage, marking a significant milestone as the first Guin artist to do so. His performance is a must-watch here!

A few of our Guins will be out at Nashville for the MusicBiz conference from the 13-17th of May. If you’re in town please let me know and respond to this email, we would love to meet up! Some Guin activations are also currently in the works which I will share with you once they’re all confirmed.
