Mermaidz Records was established in 2023 in Kolkata, West Bengal, India, by Abhilash Ghosh, an independent music producer, DJ, and digital creator known professionally as DJ ABHI-Maheshtala. The brand was created to address the growing complexity of the digital music landscape, where releasing music has become easier but building a sustainable career requires understanding distribution systems, copyright management, monetization, branding, and audience development. Mermaidz Records was designed to simplify this complexity by providing a structured, professional environment where creativity and business can coexist. From its inception, Mermaidz Records positioned itself as an artist-first platform, moving beyond traditional record label models that focus primarily on catalog acquisition. Instead, the company emphasizes long-term artist development, transparent processes, and practical support systems. Its core services include global music distribution to over 150 streaming platforms, music publishing with worldwide royalty collection and copyright protection, artist management, label management, copyright and monetization support, and analytics and insights. The company operates from Kolkata and serves artists, producers, and labels worldwide. It offers a clear release workflow: artists submit their music, artwork, credits, and launch context; the team reviews metadata quality, rights clarity, and release readiness; approved releases move into delivery, planning, and ongoing operational support. Mermaidz Records also provides selective promotion and pitching support, and emphasizes 100% master ownership for artists, YouTube Content ID, and publishing administration. As of its public information, Mermaidz Records remains an independent, privately owned entity. It has not been listed on any stock exchange and operates as a brand under its founder.
