Mhodì Music Company

Mhodì Music Company is an Italian independent record label and music publishing house based in Catania, Sicily. Founded in 2008 by Giuseppe Strazzeri — described by the company as a multi-instrumentalist and music entrepreneur with a long-standing interest in technological innovation — it operates as a record company and music publisher with activities extending into entertainment. The company presents itself as an independent label unbound by the classic canons of the industry, built on a model of collaborations between artists and strategic partners. The company's catalogue is organised around four in-house labels, each with a distinct identity: Mhodì Records for pop and Italian singer-songwriter music; Anaglyphos for jazz and contemporary classical; Comusì for Sicilian-language music and Mediterranean roots; and d00b for rock and alternative sounds. Around these labels Mhodì operates music publishing, sync licensing for film, television, advertising and video games, and independent distribution through its You Independent division. Mhodì describes a two-part operational philosophy. The first is musical research: scouting and promoting quality Italian music while building an international network that allows Italian artists to be exported abroad and the best foreign productions to be imported and distributed in Italy. The second is technology: an internally developed distribution platform and software that automate repetitive processes such as metadata management and royalty reporting, with the stated aim of returning time to artists to create. The company's vision is to give audiences worldwide a complete and real picture of the current international music scene, without the filters imposed by multinational business. Its mission is to produce, distribute, promote and tell the story of the best music in Italy and abroad, with method, network and care. Mhodì remains a privately held independent company headquartered in Catania.

Mhodì Music Company was founded in 2008 in Catania, Sicily, as an Italian independent record label and music publishing company. The company traces its origin to an idea by Giuseppe Strazzeri, described as a multi-instrumentalist and Italian music entrepreneur who was passionate about technological avant-garde from the early days of the internet. According to the company's own account, Strazzeri followed the evolution of the web and the emergence of digital technology closely, recognising early that technology would change the rules of music — how it is made, distributed and consumed. From its base in Catania, Mhodì grew into a record company and music publisher with activities extending into entertainment. It describes itself as an independent label detached from the classic canons of the industry, built on a model of collaborations: artists and strategic partners who, like the gears of a clock, combine to create a mechanism of perfect energy. The company's first operational gear is research — scouting and promoting quality music by Italian artists while building an international network of relationships that enables the export of Italian music and, conversely, the import and distribution in Italy of the best foreign productions. The second gear is technology: an internally developed distribution platform and software that automate repetitive processes, from metadata management to royalty reporting, with the aim of returning to artists the resource that truly matters — time to create. Over time Mhodì organised its output around four in-house labels, each with its own voice: Mhodì Records, dedicated to pop and Italian singer-songwriter music; Anaglyphos, focused on jazz and the classical music of our time; Comusì, devoted to the Sicilian language and the roots of the Mediterranean; and d00b, representing the electricity of rock. Around these labels the company built the rest of the trade — music publishing, sync licensing for cinema and advertising, and distribution through You Independent, its independent distribution company. The company states its vision as giving people around the world a complete and real view of the current international music scene, without the filters imposed by the business of multinationals. Its mission is to produce, distribute, promote and tell the story of the best music in Italy and abroad, with method, network and care. Mhodì remains headquartered in Catania and continues to operate as a privately held independent label and publisher.
