1193 Records

1193 Records is an independent record label based in New York, New York, in the United States. It was founded by Zoey Tess, a singer, songwriter, and music producer, and operates as a platform for contemporary music with an explicit mission of inclusivity and artistic freedom. According to the label's own description, 1193 Records is "dedicated to empowering diverse voices and fostering authentic artistry in contemporary music," with a particular commitment to celebrating and supporting LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and women artists. The label's public catalog is distributed primarily through digital channels, including its Bandcamp storefront, where it presents releases, tracks, and merchandise. Among the artists associated with the imprint is Zoey Tess herself, whose releases on the label include the single "There's Gonna Be a Reckoning," the live collection "The Fault Line Sessions (Live from Clubhouse Studio)," the track "Stable Ground," and "Knocking at Your Front Door." This tight artist roster reflects the typical profile of a boutique independent label: a founder-led operation that releases its own work alongside that of a small circle of affiliated artists. As an independent label, 1193 Records is privately held and not listed on any stock exchange. Its ownership is tied to its founder, Zoey Tess. The label positions itself within the contemporary music landscape as an artist-friendly alternative to major-label structures, emphasizing creative control and representation. Its headquarters in New York places it within one of the largest music-industry markets in the world, though its digital-first distribution allows it to reach listeners internationally. Because 1193 Records is a relatively young and small independent imprint, detailed public information about its corporate structure, release schedule, and business performance is limited. What is clear from its own materials and from public database entries is its identity as an American independent record label with a founder-driven, mission-oriented approach to releasing music.
