EAR runs the business side of your career with you: the strategy, the team and the deals, so the music has room to grow.
Labels stopped developing artists. Most managers only show up for the release. We build the whole career.
Since 2018, Elton Audio Records has bridged the gap between artists on the rise and artists who are ready to break. We’re a hybrid label, management company and marketing agency, built around one idea: give artists a competitive advantage.

Management at EAR covers every part of your career that isn’t the music itself.
Release campaigns, ad management and playlist pitching, planned and run by your team. No fake streams, ever.
Career goals, release and catalog planning, and brand direction, all pointing the same way.
Deals with labels, publishers, sync houses and sponsors, read and negotiated in your interest.
Built, run and grown by our own team.
Agents, publicists and producers, added when they pay off.
Streaming, merch, sync and live, working as one plan.

Real feedback from artists we work with.
“Having a manager is 100% not optional if you want to maintain your sanity. The amount of things that are not only off my plate, but that I can trust to be on someone else’s, is life-changing.”
“My manager’s expertise and career guidance has been a priceless and career-changing part of working with EAR.”
“Multiple tours, opening for COIN and Durry, performing on Audiotree, being playlisted by Spotify… multiple sync placements. The list goes on!”
“It’s elevated my project into the realm of professionalism. My pages and how I’m presenting myself to the world actually look like an artist now.”
“Entering the sync world, crossing 10K monthly listeners on Spotify, establishing a refined artist brand.”
“I’m truly grateful that EAR has been with me from the beginning, and that our partnership only strengthened as the results started to come in.”
“Working with EAR has exponentially increased my skills as a producer and has given me a framework for the development of my artist project.”
“We’re more consistent with our output and better at creating engaging videos. That has driven up our listenership tremendously.”
“I’m very grateful to have a good team behind me after doing things solo for a decade.”
