80/20 Records

80/20 Records is an independent record label and management company. The concept of 80/20 is based on the Pareto principle, which is found everywhere!

Our mission is to provide a supportive, safe, and fun environment for artists and music fans. For an example, usually 20% of fans makes 80% of what an artist makes, 20% of your efforts create 80% of your results, and so on. This blew our minds so we decided to run with it, not just as a philosophy of how we run things, but also how we can create a company in which we give back as much as possible to our artists and our community.
