Helping them just like others have helped me through my career, I guess.” – Martin Garrix via Skiddle.
He founded the label Stmpd Rcrds in 2016, months after leaving Spinnin’ Records and before signing with Sony Music.
“I was signed to Spinnin’ Records, this big Dutch electronic label, and Scooter has the biggest pop acts, so it was the best of both worlds,” says Garrix. “Our vision was to keep making club songs and radio crossover singles at the same time.” – Martin Garrix Interview via The Standard UK.
“I recently split up with my label as well and started my own. So I now have 100% creative freedom, and I want to show everyone that in my set. It’s all very exciting.” – Martin Garrix Interview via We Got This Discovered.
