History

In 1998, label President and co-founder Indian left TVT Records, then the largest independent US record label, to pursue his own label. After working in multiple facets of the music industry for more than a decade, Indian recruited partners David Smith, Ovid Battat, and Gorgo to form Gig Records.[2]

Gig Records adopted the slogan "Doing Things Differently", and still operates on this principle. Implementing creative tactics to help drive artists to success is at the forefront of the Gig Records mantra, running closely with the intent to work for the artist instead of the artist working for the label.[3] This unorthodox methodology of operation has helped Gig Records earn notoriety over the years as a label that nurtures and develops new and exciting artists.[4]
