Sworn In Records

We are in the business of music not in the business for the music.

About Me


Are u Sworn In? Sworn In Records was started for the artist. In fact, our business plan, formation and contracts allows artists, lyricists, producers, etc to own a piece of the company. Do you have a hard work ethic? Do you have charisma? Do you have an established regional market? Is there an investment opporunity. Our team has over 10 years of experience with the likes of Warner Bros, Sony Music Distribution, Dreamscape and Universal. We have global and national distribution set up that can handle 10,000 units per week and expand to 100K if needed!! We have secured digital and traditional distribution through Apple iTunes , Yahoo Music , Best Buy , Rhapsody , Napster , MSN Music Virgin Mega and more. We now have over 8,000 tradtional US stores plus Europe's VirginMega that an artist can take advantange and marketing to back it UP!! We are always looking for new talent of all types (rap, DJs, producers, dancers, bands, models and friends-sponsorships available). Want to get Sworn In? check us out!! SWORN IN RECORDS Let's network and see where it goes!

Sworn In Records is a new hybrid of record companies. We can spell it out when u are ready to take the plunge.. RED pill or Blue pill? ;)
The most important thing a band who wants to join this revolution needs to understand is that U MUST BRING SOMETHING TO THE TABLE. This means the band needs to have AT LEAST 1-5 albums, some distribution set-up (local is selling is fine if over 100/mo), merchandise (optional), an average following of more than 250-500 people, a website (myspace counts), proactive/dedicated in career, hard work ethic, and a desire to be successful. There is no guarntee in this business it is up to both of us to make it to the top!

What SIR brings is simple.... SIR has over 10 years of entertainment and business experience, a business model that offers unparalleled opportunity for each party (including Licensing & Publishing, Management, Investment), allows greater artistic creative autonomy (u know your art and we know the business), production/booking/management support, in house marketing/consulting/education/distribution and, most importantly, profit sharing for the premiere exclusively signed artist on top of royalties.
For distributon SIR has secured clients such as Universal Music, Sony Red, Super D, Amazon, Borders, Walmart, Best Buy, itunes, Navarre and covers USA, Asia Canada and Europe. While distributon through major channels is great it takes away money from the pockets of artists. SIR encourages our artists to use the SIR model and their own networks to become more profitable.
