The company aims to have access to the "best marketing and promotion available" through its partnership with Island Records, as said by Jonas and McIntyre in a joint statement.
Island Records CEO and president David Massey has been impressed with Phil McIntyre's work. It was almost a year ago when discussions of a new record label would be produced.
Massey said, "I really liked the culture he wanted to create: a small label that's highly focused and very artist-driven as opposed to something that would have to be able to grow exponentially."
