Kieron Donoghue, founder of Playlists.net, Humble Angel Records and previously VP of Global Playlist Strategy and Curation at Warner Music has launched an independent dance record label, called Humble Angel Dance.
Humble Angel Records launched last year and has since generated ‘tens of millions of streams’ and helped launch the career or over a dozen artists.
The first release on Humble Angel Dance is also released today (January 25) and it’s from singer/songwriter Joan Alasta, titled Close.
Alasta is probably best known as the singer on Alok’s streaming smash hit Big Jet Plane which has been streamed over 100m times to date. The song also shares the same producer, Mathieu Koss.
The new label will have all of the streaming experience and resources of the main label but with the added ability to deliver music to specialist dance platforms like Beatport.
Humble Angel Dance also says that it has specialist resources and experience in dance radio and club promotions to help artists.
“Launching Humble Angel Dance is the next step in the evolution of the Humble Angel brand and demonstrates our commitment to artist development and investment.”
