IAMSOUND Records is a Los Angeles-based independent record label. Started as a part of Worlds End Management, one of the largest producer management companies in America, it was founded in 2006 by Niki Robertson, who continues to run the label along with Paul Tao.[1]
While the label makes efforts to promote local LA indie music, with LA-based acts such as Lord Huron, Io Echo and Fool's Gold on its current roster, its most notable names signed include British artists Florence and the Machine, Little Boots, and Charli XCX.
In 2010, the label released a series of vinyl and digital one-off singles called the L.A. Collection featuring notable LA-based musicians through a singles club[1], although not in the same subscription-only singles club sense that Sub Pop Records used to have.
In 2012, Iamsound collaborated with the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art for a gallery/concert series.[2]
