OUR STORY

Phenotypic Recordings is a new record label founded in 2023 with the mission to bring to light new and timeless music by world-class musicians, the unpublished recordings of innovative composers, and music that highlights the most important issues facing the world today.

Phenotypic donates part or all of its proceeds from each album to a charity that is selected in collaboration with the artists, to jointly contribute to efforts to address critical issues.
