Overview
Rebelle Records AB is a Scandinavian record label established in 1988 by Swedish singer-songwriter Björn Afzelius. The label's name was formed from a combination of the names of Afzelius's two daughters, Rebecca and Isabelle. Its creation gave Afzelius a dedicated corporate vehicle associated with the release and administration of his recorded work. The label is particularly linked to Afzelius's musical catalogue. Rebelle Records holds the rights to all of Afzelius's music, making the company significant not only as a release label but also as a rights-holder and custodian of his recorded legacy. This rights-management role is important for continued distribution, reissues, licensing, and other uses of the catalogue, although the available reference material does not specify the label's detailed release history, distribution partners, revenue, or current commercial operations. Although founded in Sweden, Rebelle Records AB is now located in Snekkersten, Denmark. The company's cross-border identity reflects Afzelius's position within the wider Scandinavian music scene and the continuing administration of his work beyond its original Swedish context. Publicly available information about the company is limited, and no independently verified details are provided here about additional artists, genre expansion, staff, ownership changes, or current releases. Its best-documented identity is therefore that of an Afzelius-founded label and catalogue-rights entity centered on the preservation and exploitation of Björn Afzelius's music.
History
Rebelle Records AB was founded in 1988 by Björn Afzelius, a Swedish singer-songwriter. The label's name was created by combining the names of Afzelius's two daughters, Rebecca and Isabelle. This personal origin distinguishes the company from a generic commercial imprint and ties its identity directly to Afzelius and his family. From its establishment, Rebelle Records served as a label associated with Afzelius's music. The company later became the holder of the rights to all of his music, giving it a role that extends beyond the issuing of individual recordings. As a rights-holder, the label provides the corporate framework for managing the catalogue, including the continued control and administration of Afzelius's recorded output. The available reference material does not identify specific album campaigns, distribution agreements, corporate transactions, or additional artists signed to the label. The company's present location is Snekkersten, Denmark, despite its Swedish origin and close association with a Swedish artist. This relocation or current placement gives Rebelle Records a cross-border Scandinavian profile. Beyond its location and catalogue ownership, publicly documented information about the company's current management, operational scale, release schedule, and financial position is limited. Its documented historical importance rests primarily on its foundation by Afzelius and its continuing connection to his music rights.
