See Monkey Do Monkey

Biography

See Monkey Do Monkey is an independent record label based in Cardiff. It started out life as a promotions company in Ireland before setting up residence in the Welsh Capital. The first official release came in 2008 with The Method’s LP ‘The Front’. From these humble origins the label is now home to collection of rising stars and established acts that includes The Method, Houdini Dax, The Keys, The Moles and Colorama.

‘In 1959 Berry Gordy ploughed an $800 loan from his family into setting up his own record label. His label Motown quickly became known as The Hit Factory as it rewrote musical history with a production line of legendary proportions. Fifty years later and a little closer to home, that same spirit of musical entrepreneurship, prolific output and sense of community is ably represented at See Monkey Do Monkey.’
David Owens, South Wales Echo
