BURBANK, Calif., June 02, 2025 /BUSINESS WIRE/ --

Please replace the release dated June 2, 2025, with the following corrected version due to multiple revisions.

The updated release reads:

VANTA MUSIC REBRANDS LABEL VENTURE WITH DISNEY MUSIC GROUP AND SIGNS FIRST ARTISTS TO ROSTER

Vanta Music (formerly Good Company Records) have been steadily building their presence with Oscar®, Grammy® Award-winning projects, high-profile soundtrack productions for Lucasfilm and Marvel Studios, as well as lending their creative genius to a bevy of artists and even a theme song for Disney Parks. Today, they announce their first signings, Samara Cyn, India Shawn and RÜDE CÅT, to the Vanta label venture with Disney Music Group.

Samara Cyn is an artist and songwriter who creates a viral sensation with every move she makes, whether it’s new music or live shows. Samara has a gift for pushing the confines of melodic and lyrical rap, hip-hop, pop and alternative styles backed by visceral artistic content. Samara has been named to numerous high-profile “Ones to Watch” lists including Spotify and “Complex,” and “Rolling Stone” recently featured Samara on their “Future 25 Artists,” a list of 25 artists across all genres who are defining the sound of tomorrow. Samara Cyn recently announced that her highly anticipated new Backroads EP is slated for release on June 20th. In celebration, she shares her explosive collaboration with Smino on their new track “Brand New Teeth.” Samara is currently on a sold-out nationwide tour with Smino.

Singer and songwriter India Shawn is unfiltered, fearless, and always evolving. The Los Angeles-born singer-songwriter has long been admired for her raw storytelling, effortlessly making listeners feel like they’re catching up with an old friend. Now, as she steps into a new chapter, she’s bringing a fresh sonic evolution to 2025—one that’s deeply authentic yet undeniably new. India has penned hits for Chris Brown, Monica, and Keri Hilson, and has toured extensively along with notables such as Anderson.Paak and 6lack. India Shawn recently released “There Must Be A God”—the soul-stirring anthem that served as the end-credit song for Andscape’s Hulu film “She Taught Love.” India continues to solidify her space as a voice that moves between the celestial and the familiar, carrying echoes of something eternal yet intimately known. India has long been an artist’s artist—respected, studied, and celebrated by those in the know. India will release new music in June.

RÜDE CÅT is a dynamic artist known for his incredible voice, evocative songwriting, and genre-blurring approach to music. Seamlessly blending alternative rock, pop, RnB, and orchestral elements, he crafts immersive soundscapes that are as cinematic as they are emotionally charged. His powerful, smooth vocals soar over intricate productions, creating a unique fusion of raw intensity and polished artistry. With each track, he pushes boundaries, proving himself not just as a musician but as a visionary capable of transforming emotion into resonating sonic experiences.

Vanta Music is helmed by principals D’Mile, Natalie Prospere and John Kercy. D’Mile is a prolific songwriter and producer, who has worked with Victoria Monet, H.E.R., Silk Sonic, Rihanna, Bruno Mars, Janet Jackson, Lucky Daye, Ciara and countless others. D’Mile recently produced and wrote tracks for Victoria Monet’s Grammy® winning album, as well as her original end-credit song “Power of Two” for “The Acolyte.” D’Mile is the first songwriter in history to win back-to-back Grammys® for the prestigious Song of the Year category and has been thrice nominated for the Grammy® Producer of the Year category. D’Mile has racked up 20 total Grammy® nominations. D’Mile is also an Oscar® winner in the Best Original Song field and was acknowledged by BMI as Songwriter of the Year in 2023. D’Mile contributed to the Marvel “Spider-Man 2” video game opening song with the insanely catchy “Swing” track and produced the Disney Parks theme song “We Came To Play.” Billboard featured D’Mile in their 2025 Grammy Preview, asserting, “With old-school polish and technique, songwriter-producer D’Mile helps stars like Bruno Mars and H.E.R. blend retro and modern styles into pop and Grammy gold.”

Natalie Prospere is a multi-hyphenate music executive experienced in artist development, talent management and consultation for artists and companies alike. Her roster of world-class writers, producers and artists has garnered over 10 multi-platinum RIAA® Awards, multiple Top 10 “Billboard” chart entries and numerous Grammy® Awards. Prospere is the creator of the culture-bridging project “Friends Only” that specializes in equitable artist partnerships and emphasizes the importance of organic relationships and forward-thinking development throughout the Caribbean and Black diaspora.

John Kercy added another Grammy® Award to his growing collection in 2024 for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical for his contribution to Victoria Monet’s Jaguar II album. Kercy has earned 5 Grammy® nominations and taken home the gold three times. Kercy is Vanta’s secret sauce, as an award-winning mixing and audio engineer who has worked with an esteemed array of musicians including Lil Wayne, GIVĒON, Ty Dolla $ign, Lucky Daye, and more.

With a vision of building an increasingly powerful and self-contained artistic community, a sense of fair play is paramount to VANTA Music’s origins. The founding trio vows to cultivate an environment where its clientele can flourish beyond any perceived confines, while reaping the benefits of the collective’s artistic and strategic prowess. It is this strict moral compass that affords VANTA Music’s artists the trust and comfort necessary to generate truly phenomenal recordings. Beyond that, it allows their stable of creatives to thrive and explore their gifts without fear of exclusion or judgment.

Centered in a promise to usher in a new era of artistic respect and equality, VANTA Music is steadfast in the belief that ethical consciousness is synonymous with musical brilliance. The imprint is determined to build lasting, mutually beneficial relationships that defy the grimly transactional nature of the industry. By artists, for artists, and equipped with a holistic understanding of what will drive change, VANTA Music is shaping a musical landscape that's diverse, equitable and pulsating with melody. It's not just business—it’s personal. It's cultural. It's a community.
