Union State Records

Union State Records is an American independent rock record label based in Hollywood, California. It was founded by John Scott and is supported by a production team that includes Jason Arnold, Jean-Yves Ducornet and Wendy Waldman. The label focuses on artists who place particular emphasis on songwriting and live performance, a positioning that distinguishes it within the independent rock segment. The label's best-known signing is the band Hypnogaja, whose songs have sold worldwide and have been licensed into multiple film and video-game soundtracks, including Schrei, wenn du kannst, Carrie and Devil May Cry. Union State Records' catalog is licensed through Pen Music Group, which handles publishing and licensing administration for the label's repertoire. Beyond Hypnogaja, the roster has included DJ ShyBoy, Sammy Allen and Shotgun Radio. The label's producer bench features Jason Arnold (also a singer and DJ), Jean-Yves Ducornet (known as "Jeeve," a former bassist of Hypnogaja), Wendy Waldman, Leticia Ascencio, John Scott (the label founder) and Mark Nubar Donikian (a musician in Hypnogaja), as well as Armanda Cee. This combination of an in-house production circle and a small, curated artist roster reflects the label's independent, songwriter-first identity. Union State Records operates primarily in the United States, with its artists' music reaching international audiences through soundtrack placements and licensed distribution. As an independent label, it is privately held and does not trade on a public stock exchange. Its online presence is maintained through its official website at unionstaterecords.com.
