The Spaceflight Mission

Empowering artists. Redefining the music industry.

Music has never been more accessible to audiences — but for the people who make it, the economics have collapsed. Spaceflight Records exists to change that. We provide comprehensive record label services and artist development, fostering a more inclusive, diverse, and equitable music ecosystem.

Artist Development

Collaborative release management and promotion with business development, industry insights, and grants.

  • Strategy, timelines, and release management
  • Publicity, radio, and audience growth
  • Mentorship, business development, and grants

Fellowships

Release management, vinyl production, worldwide distribution, promotion, and grants — designed to open doors and let artists move forward with confidence.

Artist-first economics: Artists keep all revenue from physical and digital sales, with no obligation to reimburse costs of services or manufacturing.

Collaboration Series

Preserves the sounds of the past, uplifts underserved voices, and builds projects with nonprofits and labels to amplify reach and impact.

Equitable Recording Contracts (E.R.C.)

For established musicians — release management, promotion, manufacturing, and distribution paired with equitable terms.

  • Transparent, artist-forward contracts
  • Vinyl manufacturing + global distribution
  • Publicity, radio, and release campaigns

Distribution

Physical & digital distribution, shipping resources, and representation — access to shelves, shops, retail marketing, and platforms worldwide.

Revenue is shared in Distribution and E.R.C., cycling resources back into the community to strengthen the mission.

We sustain this work through donations, grants, and partnerships, which subsidize operations so we can stand fully behind the artist and build a more equitable, sustainable path forward.
