welcome to the family

Private Beach Records

Built by independents, for independent artists. Your sound, your ownership — with the reach of a major.

Independent · Global · Backed by Virgin Music Group & Universal Music Group
who we are

Built by independents.

Private Beach Records started the way the best things do — a few people who love music, tired of watching great independent artists get overlooked or boxed in. We built the label we always wished existed: one that treats you like an artist, not a product.

Here's what makes us different. We're independent to the core, but we're not small. Through our partnership with Virgin Music Group and Universal Music Group's independent arm, your music plugs into the same global machine that scales the biggest names in the world — Spotify and Apple Music playlisting, international marketing, retail, the works.

So you get both: the freedom, taste, and hands-on attention of an independent label, backed by major-label reach. We sign on a per-song basis — no getting locked into a long contract before you know it's a fit.

This is a home for artists who already know who they are. If that's you, welcome to the family.
