Afimi Music Records was formed in 2009 by veteran music executives who had proven themselves with massive successes on behalf of major labels including MCA, Reprise, DefJam, and Interscope Records. The gold and platinum-certified records in the Afimi Music backstory include “4,3,2,1” from the LL Cool J “Phenomenon” album, “Can-i-bus” by Canibus, “Youssou N’Dour” from the “Bulworth” soundtrack, and “Kill Dem All – Kali Ranks” from “Russell Simmons – The Show” soundtrack. The young independent label has stayed on top of the industry, signing such emerging acts as Stephanie Adler, Charlie Mayne, Afm Jynx, and G-mack, and is on track to sign dozens more in the next year.
“We at Afimi Music are so excited to have Intercept Music as our distribution and marketing service partner,” said Mickelonis, COO of Afimi Music. They are the perfect solution for independent labels like us. Finally, there’s a provider to super-serve independent labels.”
