About Us
West Pier Recordings, began in January 2024 against the vibrant and creative backdrop of Brighton, England.
West Pier stands as a testament to the musical passion and vision of its founders, Tim Bevan and Julian Ankersmit. Their combined dedication to the artistry of music birthed a record label with a distinct focus on the Pop genre.
AT WEST PIER RECORDINGS, OUR MISSION EXTENDS BEYOND SIMPLY RELEASING MUSIC; WE ARE COMMITTED TO PROVIDING A PLATFORM FOR EXCEPTIONALLY TALENTED ARTISTS, AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE CREATIVITY FLOURISHES, AND INDIVIDUAL IDENTITIES ARE CELEBRATED. WE BELIEVE THAT MUSIC IS NOT JUST ABOUT SOUNDS, BUT ABOUT STORIES, EMOTIONS, AND THE UNIQUE NARRATIVE THAT EACH ARTIST BRINGS TO THE TABLE.
WE TAKE PRIDE IN OUR ROLE AS MENTORS, FACILITATORS, AND SUPPORTERS IN THE ARTISTIC JOURNEYS OF OUR CURRENT AND FUTURE ARTISTS. COLLABORATION IS AT THE HEART OF WHAT WE DO; WE WORK CLOSELY WITH BOTH ARTISTS AND THEIR MANAGERS TO ENSURE THAT EVERY RELEASE ALIGNS WITH THEIR CREATIVE ASPIRATIONS AND OVERALL OBJECTIVES. OUR COMMITMENT IS NOT JUST TO THE MUSIC BUT TO THE ARTISTS THEMSELVES, RECOGNISING THEIR POTENTIAL TO SHAPE THE CULTURAL LANDSCAPE.
TRANSPARENCY IS MORE THAN A VALUE FOR US; IT IS A FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE THAT DEFINES OUR COMPANY AND INTERACTIONS WITHIN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY. WE PRIORITISE OPEN COMMUNICATION, MUTUAL RESPECT, AND ETHICAL PRACTICES, CREATING A SPACE WHERE TRUST AND INTEGRITY IS BUILT. IN AN INDUSTRY SOMETIMES CHARACTERISED BY SECRECY AND AMBIGUITY, WE AIM TO CULTIVATE A CULTURE OF HONESTY AND FAIRNESS.
WEST PIER RECORDINGS IS NOT JUST A RECORD LABEL; IT IS A COMMUNITY OF ARTISTS, COLLABORATORS, AND MUSIC ENTHUSIASTS WHO SHARE A COMMON PASSION FOR PUSHING THE BOUNDARIES OF THE POP GENRE. OUR JOURNEY IS MARKED BY A COMMITMENT TO STANDARDS, DEDICATION TO THE TASK IN HAND, AND AN UNWAVERING BELIEF IN THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF MUSIC.
JOIN US AS WE EMBARK ON THIS SONIC JOURNEY.
