Disruptor Records is an American record label founded by Adam Alpert in September 2014, as a joint venture with Sony Music Entertainment.[2][3] The label has sold more than 15 million singles worldwide as of 2016.[4]
History
[edit | edit source]Alpert founded the label in 2014, alongside his clients' musical group The Chainsmokers, whom he also helped to form by introducing the members, Andrew Taggart and Alex Pall in 2012.[5] The Chainsmokers released several chart-topping songs with the label such as "Closer", "Paris", and "Something Just Like This".[6]
Alpert said, "We care about the artist’s career as a whole and not just about the records — that’s the foundation upon which Disruptor was built."[4] In 2014, he signed the joint venture with Sony Music Entertainment CEO Doug Morris, who was replaced by Rob Stringer[7][8] and launched Disruptor Records, Disruptor Management and Selector Songs.[4]
The name "Disruptor" as described by Alpert, is "about shaking things up".[2] The label would focus on the long-term development of artists through artist-to-fan communication.[9]
