Eusonia Records is an independent record label founded by American record producer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Scott Jacoby. The label currently has four artists on its roster: Maiysha, SiLyA, Zach Deputy and Jacoby himself,[1][2][3] as well as the soundtrack for the 2013 film My Last Day Without You.[4]

Eusonia Records releases are primarily recorded and mixed at its recording facility, Eusonia Studios, in Manhattan.[5]

Etymology

In an interview with ASCAP in 2011, Jacoby stated that the word "eusonia" borrows from Greek and Latin, and means "home of good music".[6]

History

Jacoby founded Eusonia Records in 2007 with capital that he raised from family and friends.[7] The label earned its first Grammy nomination when "Wanna Be", from Maiysha's debut studio album This Much Is True, was nominated for Best Urban/Alternative Performance in 2009.[8] In 2010, Jacoby teamed up with his partner James McKinney to run the label as its chief operating officer (COO).[9]

In 2016, Eusonia partnered with the Anguilla Music Academy and The Grammy Museum to create the Music Revolution Project in Anguilla.[10][11]
