Sample Road Records is an independent record label that partners with emerging artists to produce, release, and promote high-quality music that resonates.
We’re not just a label—we’re a launchpad. Our model is artist-first: we provide funding, marketing, and distribution support while allowing creators to retain ownership and creative freedom. We don’t lock artists into multi-project or multi-year deals. Each partnership is built around a single song, with flexibility at the core.
A Home for New Music Discovery
Sample Road Records also curates Daily Samplings—a discovery-driven email newsletter sharing standout new songs across genres. With over 6,000 subscribers and growing, we’re building a community of listeners who care about discovering what’s next in music.
Our Vision
We believe the world is better when people feel connected through music. That’s why we focus on releasing music that moves people and growing an audience that values quality and emotional resonance.
Founded by Manuel Delgado, Sample Road Records is rooted in the belief that independent artists thrive when given the right support, creative control, and room to grow. We’re working toward a model that complements the evolving music landscape—offering a flexible, artist-friendly path to releasing impactful songs.
