Gig2 Records: The Next Generation

Founded in 1998, Gig Records already has the reputation for being "The label that does things differently". That means that Gig's philosophy is simply this: "work for the artists, as opposed to the other way around." In a business driven by one-hit wonders and disposable music, Gig strives to develop careers for their talent and seeks out artists based on their uniqueness instead of jumping on every short-lived bandwagon.

The man behind Gig Records is the company's founder and president, Indian, who started in the music industry as a booking agent for local and national artists in the legendary New Jersey clubs, The Fastlane and T-Birds. Shortly after, he began a six-month internship at TVT Records, which led to a full time position working in radio promotion, marketing and artist development. He worked on all levels assisting in the development of artists including Gravity Kills, KMFDM, Sevendust and Buck-O-Nine. After four years at TVT, Indian realized it was time to start a label that would do things differently than the majors.
