DeadAir Records (stylized in camel case as deadAir) is an American independent record label founded by Jesse Taconelli, Billie Bugara and Quinn in 2021.[1]

History

[edit]

Quinn and Taconelli crossed paths while the latter worked as a music journalist and janitor. Covering up-and-coming artists and niche music scenes, he noticed mismanagement as a lead cause of young artists' careers ending sooner than they had to. They co-founded DeadAir "in hopes of giving Quinn a shot at something better".[2] Bugara also worked as a music journalist and wrote about multiple future label mates in her time at Complex and Lyrical Lemonade.[2][3] As of 2022, Taconelli worked as creative director of DeadAir and manager for Quinn, as well as label mates Jane Remover and Quadeca.[2][4][5]
