Porto Franco Records

I´ve got a great record label.... Here´s a bit about who they are and why they´re so different.....

//////////////////////////////

Porto Franco Records focuses on three goals: to promote the remarkable musicians that call San Francisco home, to strengthen the community's connection with the music scene, and to uphold the freedom of the musicians so that they may continue to do what they love to do, on their own terms.

In January 2009, a father and son team founded Porto Franco Records in the diverse Mission District of San Francisco in response to the need for a record label that held the value of the artist above profit. The name Porto Franco, or 'free port', reflects the core values of the company, functioning primarily as a port of access through which musicians are able to reach the public. The artists are free to share music on their own terms, unbound by long-term, multi-album industry contracts. Artists collaborate with Porto Franco Records on an album-by-album basis, at their own pace and of their own accord. In exchange, Porto Franco Records devotes its efforts towards production, publicity, and management, leaving the artists free to concentrate on their music and connect with the people who support them. Dedicated to bringing communities together, Porto Franco Records strives to keep the fingers of the public on the pulse of this vibrant though sometimes underground San Francisco music culture.
