About Us


Born in 2024 in the buzzing and creative hub of Brighton, England, West Pier Recordings is a record label with a difference.

we care!

we’re all about working alongside artists, not against them, to create something extraordinary.

Specialising in Popular / mainstream music in its various forms, we focus on supporting and developing talent, always putting the artist first.

We are artist friendly!


At West Pier, it’s more than just releasing tracks; we’re building a platform for artists to thrive. We believe music isn’t just sound; it’s about stories, emotions, and the unique journeys that each artist brings. We’re here to work together, turning creative visions into reality while celebrating individuality every step of the way.  


Collaboration is our foundation. We work closely with artists and their teams to ensure every release matches their creative goals. Whether it’s through mentorship, strategy, or hands-on support, we’re in it together to make the magic happen. It’s not just about the music; it’s about the artists and their ability to shape the future of music.


Transparency isn’t just a buzz word for us, it’s a big deal. In an industry that sometimes feels too secretive, we’re committed to being open, fair, and honest. We build trust by keeping communication clear and always sticking to ethical practices; it’s just how we roll.


West Pier Recordings is more than a label; we are building a community. A space where artists, singers, musicians, collaborators, and music lovers come together to push the boundaries of popular music and make something unforgettable and meaningful. We’re all about dedication, creativity, and the belief that music can truly transform the world.


If you are an aspiring artist, and you don’t want to waste any more time, don’t want to hear any more bull! Want to be treated well, offered fair recording deals, supported and communicated to in a respectful manner and not gaslighted. Then you should really get in contact. Let’s have a chat, let’s see what magic we as a label can help you unlock.  

Here’s to the future!
