“2Point9 have done for black and asian music in the UK what Def Jam did for hip hop in the US” - The Guardian newspaper

After leaving Telstar Records in 2003, they formed 2Point9 seamlessly combining management, record label, music publishing, live agency and consultancy. It quickly established itself as the No 1 record label for contemporary crossover South Asian-Western crossover music not only in the UK but worldwide. Signing producer Rishi Rich and artists Jay Sean, Juggy D, Veronica and Mentor, 2Point9 quickly developed a sound which was to represent the new generation of young western South Asian youth. Ricky Martin and Britney Spears were just two of the international artists who benefited from the 2Point9 sound.

2Point9’s first signing, Jay Sean went onto sell over 300,000 copies of his debut album ‘Me Against Myself’, going multi-platinum in India, a territory where 2Point9 have enjoyed huge success. As a result, he became the leading icon for South Asian youth around the world.
