London, United Kingdom – July 1, 2025 — In a music industry dominated by major labels and saturated streaming platforms, one London-based company is rewriting the rules. Renegade Music, headquartered at the heart of Shoreditch, has unveiled its next-generation independent label model, setting a new precedent for how music careers are launched, managed, and sustained.
Renegade Music’s mission is to give power back to the artists — allowing them to grow without compromising their independence or artistic integrity. Unlike traditional record labels, which often tie artists into long-term contracts and absorb creative control, Renegade offers an artist-first partnership that balances professional guidance with complete ownership.
“We’re not interested in signing artists for control — we’re here to co-create success stories,” says Liam Weston, Founder and CEO of Renegade Music. “Our model is built on transparency, flexibility, and empowerment. It’s time the industry caught up to the needs of the modern independent artist.”
What Makes the Renegade Model Different?
At the core of Renegade Music’s operations is a modular, non-exclusive service system, where artists can opt in for support where they need it most — whether it’s production, promotion, distribution, or branding.
Key differentiators of the Renegade model include:
- Artists retain full rights and masters
- Revenue share options instead of restrictive deals
- No long-term contractual commitments
- Access to high-level expertise across music and digital marketing
- Community-driven creative space in Shoreditch
This artist-centric approach has already attracted attention from emerging UK talent across genres including hip-hop, indie, R&B, alt-pop, and electronic music. With the creative freedom to evolve their sound and brand without interference, Renegade artists have flourished both creatively and commercially.
Built for the Streaming Generation
The Renegade label model is specifically designed for the streaming-first era — where fan engagement, content strategy, and digital visibility are as important as the music itself.
Renegade’s team of music marketers and growth strategists works directly with each artist to:
- Build social media momentum through content planning
- Optimize streaming performance with data-driven targeting
- Craft compelling release campaigns with visual storytelling
- Leverage playlist pitching strategies for maximum exposure
“We’ve seen huge results just by aligning creative vision with smart marketing,” says Ella James, Head of Digital Strategy at Renegade. “One of our unsigned artists gained over 1 million streams on Spotify and 25,000 TikTok followers in under four months — all without a label contract.”
From Studio to Stage: Full-Circle Artist Support
In addition to digital support, Renegade Music offers in-house production facilities, live event opportunities, and creative brand development, helping artists build holistic, long-lasting careers.
Services available include:
- Studio recording, mixing, and mastering
- EPK creation and photoshoots
- Live performance showcases
- Tour planning assistance
- Sync licensing for TV, film, and advertising
Renegade’s Shoreditch location, inside the buzzing Soho Works space at the Tea Building, is a cultural hotspot where industry meets innovation. The location frequently hosts exclusive live sessions, writing camps, and networking nights — providing an organic space for artists to grow and collaborate.
A Real Alternative to the Traditional Label Deal
Too many artists have been burned by exploitative deals that lock them into long-term commitments and limit their creative control. Renegade Music aims to provide a real alternative, where support is accessible, affordable, and artist-led.
“Most labels take before they give. We flip that,” says Weston. “We invest time, attention, and resources without demanding ownership. Our artists aren’t numbers — they’re partners.”
This ethos is reflected in Renegade’s pricing structure, which offers transparent service tiers based on real deliverables — no hidden clauses, no fine print. For emerging musicians trying to navigate a notoriously opaque industry, this kind of honesty is a breath of fresh air.
Growing a Global Movement from East London
While Renegade Music’s roots are firmly planted in London, the company’s reach is global. Through a combination of strategic partnerships, international playlisting, and cross-border artist campaigns, the label has helped UK talent break into the U.S., Europe, and Asia — without giving up their independence.
Renegade is also exploring new territory in AI-assisted analytics, NFT-powered fan engagement, and Web3 revenue models, keeping the company at the leading edge of music technology.
“We’re not just changing how artists release music — we’re reimagining how artists live off their music,” says James.
Join the Renegade Revolution
As Renegade Music continues to grow, it’s calling on independent artists across the UK and beyond to join the movement. Whether you’re a self-producing singer-songwriter or an emerging rapper building buzz on TikTok, Renegade offers the infrastructure, insight, and independence to elevate your career on your own terms.
