Sony Music UK launches new label Dream Life

By Chris Cooke | Published on Wednesday 8 April 2020

Sony Music UK has launched a brand new label called Dream Life Records to be co-run by Dan Owusu, Lunick Bourgess and Shane Derozario. Together they will focus – and I quote – “on finding urban and pop talent, developing artists and management teams to the highest level, and bridging the gap between youth and the mainstream”.

And all from their kitchens! For now, at least. Until that glorious moment occurs when we can all get back to finding urban and pop talent, developing artists and management teams to the highest level and bridging the gap between youth and the mainstream in our pubs and our clubs, on our buses and our trains, and in our plush office spaces in Kensington.

Sony notes that between them the trio running Dream Life Records have experience and expertise in A&R at both labels and publishers, as well as in artist management, meaning they can “offer artists an all-encompassing perspective”.

Announcing the new division, Sony Music UK chief Jason Iley said: “I want to continue building a company that is led by entrepreneurs and innovators. Dan, Lunick and Shane are extremely ambitious, hugely energetic and will be an excellent addition to the Sony team. Their combination of nous and flair promises to uncover an exciting roster of new talent”.
