World Scene

World Scene Records was founded in 1995 by music producer and entrepreneur Alex Chen, aiming to promote global music genres and diverse artists. Initially focused on world music, the label quickly expanded its catalog to include genres such as jazz, folk, and electronic, reflecting a commitment to cultural fusion. Notable artists associated with World Scene include the acclaimed Afrobeat musician Kofi Nkrumah, the innovative electronic duo Echoes of Earth, and the celebrated jazz vocalist Lena Hart. Throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s, the label gained recognition for its unique sound and commitment to artistic integrity, earning several awards and nominations. World Scene's legacy lies in its role as a platform for underrepresented voices in the music industry, fostering cross-cultural collaborations and broadening the scope of world music. The label continues to operate, adapting to changing musical landscapes while maintaining its core mission of promoting diverse musical expressions.
