Introducing That Promising Seadog Media: a small
but ambitious independent record label & publisher dedicated
to putting out damn good records and books, while doing our
part to help build a strong artistic community. This is what
we believe in:
Art comes first. We're not in business to make hits or riches.
We're here to make music that matters to people. We want to
make sure there's more in this world to inspire people than
reality TV. We want to ensure that artists can do what they
should be doing and are not stuck doing data entry for investment
companies twelve hours a day and hating it.
A strong artistic community is essential for artists
of all kinds to thrive. It is our goal to be an active part
of that community:
- by making every project we do a collaborative effort, bringing
together artists from around the community to create a beautiful
end-product;
- by providing resources to artists, and helping to bring
artists together and connect them with good businesses and
organizations providing useful services and opportunities;
- by donating 10% of annual profits to good non-profit/arts
organizations; and
- by doing whatever we can to help artists do their work.
The most brash and ambitious part of our mission -
to make good records, important records, records
that will become a part of music historyrecords that
will inspire future generations of history- and music-makers.
We intend to build a reputation for finding and producing
quality work. A reputation for producing consistently strong,
original work is a powerful tool for successfully drawing
attention to the work of deserving artists.
