innova® Recordings serves the needs of visionary, creative musicians by offering artistic and technical guidance throughout the recording and publication process; amplifying the reach of new musical ideas through access to our marketing and distribution networks; and by actively working together to maximize professional impact. Together, we champion a curated body of diverse, eclectic, and compelling American musical voices to the listening public.
As the label of American Composers Forum, a non-profit service organization, innova redefines the typical relationship between artist and label. We seek a synergy, taking advantage of each other’s strengths to provide both the tools of an established record label and the freedom of self-publishing. Where there is no obvious market for the cutting edge, we delight in finding – or trying to create – one. We are staffed by creative artists who understand your needs and can help you put your best foot forward in the befuddling world of recording publication.

innova’s strengths lie in work that is unlikely to find a home in the mainstream industry. We focus on remarkable music regardless of its genre (or its transcendence/rejection of genre). We are part business, part service, and are motivated by music worth spreading and helping artists reach their goals.

We have a flexible business model tailored to artists’ needs. We offer access to our worldwide network of relationships in the industry, as well as a helping hand through the thicket of back-end distribution.
