About Slate Studios
We help independent labels and artists run their business without becoming tech companies
The Problem
The music industry is fragmented. Most artists and labels rely on patchwork systems that don't talk to each other, creating inefficiencies and missed opportunities.
Our Solution
Slate provides modular support for independent labels. We're not here to replace your team—we offer as much or as little help as you need, from distribution to campaign planning to data analytics.

We support independent labels without trying to acquire or replace them. Through our partnership with Once, we combine their platform with hands-on creative services.
