About C-LEBSOUNDS
Our story, mission, and the artists we represent
Our Story
C-LEBSOUNDS was founded in 2020 with a simple yet powerful vision: to create a home for authentic artists who blend rugged energy with refined musicality. We believe in music that defies easy categorization and speaks to the full spectrum of human experience.
What began as a platform for founder C-Leb's own musical project, C-Leb & the Kettle Black, has evolved into an independent label committed to nurturing artists who share our passion for musical authenticity and creative freedom.
Based in Los Angeles but with a global perspective, C-LEBSOUNDS represents artists who bring together diverse influences—from folk and rock to alternative and beyond—creating music that resonates with listeners seeking something genuine in an often manufactured musical landscape.
