Independent by design. Intelligent by nature.
1812 Music is an independent and publishing company releasing music worldwide. We stand for craft, storytelling and truth — for artists whose songs carry weight and whose work means something.
Our name nods to the year of upheaval and invention — 1812 — a time when the world began to change through industry and rebellion. We believe music should still challenge, inspire, and move culture forward.
We back artists who create with integrity, chase emotion over algorithms, and still believe that a great song can change everything.
Anni IllaNoise A rising singer-songwriter from rural Illinois now rooted in Chicago. Anni writes with raw honesty about love, belonging, and growing up between small towns and big cities. Her sound fuses Americana, country-pop, and modern storytelling — blending grit with grace, melody with meaning.
Otis James Jones (1947–1974) A forgotten soul voice rediscovered. Born in Illinois, Otis recorded between 1967 and 1974 — a brief but powerful career that bridged gospel, blues, and early disco. His music captures the spirit of a man who lived hard, loved deeply, and left too soon. 1812 Music is proud to bring his legacy to life for a new generation of listeners.
We believe in songs that tell the truth. In artists who mean what they sing. In independence not as a marketing slogan, but as a way of thinking.
1812 Music champions the authentic, the soulful, and the fearless — creators who remind us why music matters.
