Khanti Records

Khanti Records, operating publicly as Khanti Music, is a French independent record label and music services company founded in 2013 at the initiative of Jérôme Dupouy and several members of his group at the time, The Banyans. The name "Khanti" derives from Pali, an Indian dialect, where it means patience and tolerance — a meaning reflected in the company's stated ethos of "Cultivating Talent, Nurturing Patience." During its early years, Khanti focused on supporting and distributing self-produced artists. Its distributed catalog has since grown to no fewer than 1,200 works. The label's roster is curated around ambient music, cinematic and epic music, relaxing music and neoclassical styles. Artists listed on its official site include Alban Billard, Anatole Dufresne, Devi Reed, Julia Biel, Lucio de Dio, Martin Domas, Martin Etienne, Mystical Faya, Solar Project, Steve Pinet and Wendy Panoah. Beyond releasing records, Khanti Music presents itself as a full-service music company offering art direction and music production, digital strategies, label and promotion services, playlist curation, booking, live production, digital distribution, music production, and sync licensing. In 2021 the company opened a subsidiary, Khanti Publishing, dedicated to offering audiovisual synchronization licenses. Its synchronization catalog comprises more than 200 works specializing in relaxing and soothing music, music for concentration, and epic and cinematic music, aimed at filmmakers, YouTubers, companies, events, film festivals, wedding filmmakers and film productions. The company also states that it protects and collects its artists' rights, including publishing author rights and neighboring rights. Khanti Music is a private French company. Its team includes Isabelle Legalais as booking agent, Jérôme Dupouy as artistic director and label manager, and Martin Schiffmann as booking agent. The label distributes its music digitally and promotes playlists on streaming platforms such as Spotify. It remains an independent, active label positioned at the intersection of artist development and sync-ready production music.
