Through the years, I’ve loved sharing my favorite music with an audience: I made my first mix tape in high school, wrote my first music review in college and had my first weekly DJ gig when I was 24. Starting a record label at 25 seemed like the logical next step.
dreams by degrees was inspired by a girl and song—and certainly the wildest idea I had up until that time in my life. From 2001 to 2006, we invited musicians and artists to collaborate on conceptual projects that combined music, design and packaging to create an unique label mythology. Over the course of six years, we released six albums featuring the work of over 30 artists and musicians; each received critical acclaim in the independent music scene, introducing up and coming musicians in the US and abroad.
dreams by degrees is currently on hiatus as I focus on other creative projects. In the meantime, you can find our music on iTunes.
