The Spaceflight Mission

Our mission is to support artists by providing comprehensive record label services and artist development. Recognizing the inequities present in the music industry, we strive to enhance access and foster a more inclusive, diverse, and equitable music ecosystem.

Development

The Artist Development Program fosters a collaborative and tailored approach to release management and promotion, offering business development opportunities, valuable industry insights, and grants.

Fellowships

The Fellowship supplies essential tools and services to emerging artists, such as release management, vinyl production, worldwide physical distribution, promotion, and grants. The fellowship is designed to open doors, provide resources, and give artists the chance to move forward with confidence.

Collaboration

The Collaboration Series preserves the sounds of the past, uplifts underserved voices, and creates projects that strengthen both music and community. These collaborations often extend beyond artists, bringing in partnerships with other nonprofits and record labels to amplify impact and reach.

In our Development, Fellowship, and Collaboration programs, artists keep all revenue from their physical and digital sales, with no obligation to reimburse costs of services or manufacturing. This model is designed to empower artists at the most crucial time in their journey toward sustainability, allowing their music and hard work to carry them forward.

Equitable Recording Contracts (ERC)

The E.R.C. is built to support established musicians. It provides record label services, including release management, promotion, manufacturing, and distribution, paired with equitable terms. Our goal is to sustain both the art and the artist. The E.R.C. creates a profoundly artist-forward partnership, designed with transparency and care, unlike anything typically found in the industry.

Distribution

The Distribution program is built for artists who need physical or digital distribution, shipping resources, and representation. We provide access to shelves, shops, retail marketing, and digital platforms through trusted partners around the world.

In the Distribution Program and the E.R.C. Program, revenue is shared. These programs are structured not only to support the established artist but to cycle resources back into the community, strengthening the mission as a whole. They are profoundly artist-forward partnerships, designed with transparency and care, unlike anything typically found in the industry. We sustain this work through donations, grants, and partnerships, which subsidize the cost of running the organization. That support allows Spaceflight to stand behind artists fully, while acknowledging the inequities in the industry and building a more equitable and sustainable path forward..
