Music and Sound

Music and Sound was founded in 1978 by producer and entrepreneur John Carter, aiming to provide a platform for emerging artists across various genres. Initially focusing on rock and pop, the label gained prominence in the 1980s with the rise of new wave and synth-pop, signing influential acts such as The Electric Shadows and The Neon Lights. In the 1990s, Music and Sound expanded its roster to include alternative rock and indie artists, fostering a diverse sound that appealed to a broader audience. Key figures during this era included the critically acclaimed band The Echoes and singer-songwriter Lisa Hart. The label continued to adapt through the 2000s, embracing digital distribution and promoting genres like electronic and hip-hop. Today, Music and Sound is recognized for its commitment to artist development and innovation, leaving a lasting legacy in the music industry as a nurturing ground for diverse talent.
