History
[edit]Lenny Ibizarre emerged into the music scene in Ibiza in 1997 where he started work on his first album, The Ambient Collection, which was signed by Warner Music UK.[citation needed]
Since 1997, Lenny Ibizarre has produced 12 albums and is a multi-platinum selling artist. His chilled Ibiza compilations sold over 1.5 million copies in the UK. The Ambient Collection reached its 7th edition in 2007.[citation needed]

In 2009, Lenny Ibizarre stated in an interview with DV.FM that he had offers from Sony, BMG, Rondor Music and Xtravaganza Recordings but had turned them down. He created Ibizarre Records with his reason being that starting his own record label could make him a better living by licensing tracks to compilations with his main focus on local distribution in Ibiza.[4]
