About Here & Now Recordings: Architects of Cinema & Sound
Here & Now Recordings is a boutique independent record label and publishing house based in Woking, UK, dedicated to cinematic, ambient-jazz, and electronic music. Founded in 2005 by John Cunningham, the label serves as a creative hub for a collective of globally recognized artists, producers, and composers.
We are not just a label; we are a lineage of hit-makers. Our roster connects the underground with the Billboard charts, featuring:
Kevin Kadish: The Grammy-nominated songwriter and producer behind the 10x Platinum global smash "All About That Bass" (Meghan Trainor) and hits for Jason Mraz and Fifth Harmony.
David Baron: A legendary Woodstock-based producer and modular synth pioneer known for his work with The Lumineers (Cleopatra), Lana Del Rey, and Bat For Lashes.
Donna Lewis: The multi-platinum artist behind the timeless #1 hit "I Love You Always Forever".
Ambient Jazz Ensemble (AJE): The project of Colin Baldry, whose work has reached iconic labels Motown, RCA and Geffen Records.
At Here & Now, we specialize in "music for the head and heart"—from the dystopian synthwave of Sinclair 808 and the electro acoustic textures of Lomea to the pure pop craftsmanship of our songwriting team. We bridge the gap between classical composition and modern electronic production.
