Offmeta has launched to connect music with esports and gaming.
According to a statement, the label will focus on both established and emerging artists making progressive and experimental pop music, with strong identities and a unique vision.
Offmeta will introduce a one-stop licensing solution for partners and create artist integrations in broadcasts and content revolving around gaming, esports and digital culture as a whole.
The label has been launched by former Universal Music product manager Jannis Wenderholm as label head and Line Rindvig as director of partnerships. Rindvig was formerly an artist manager known for her partnership work with Mercedes-Benz EQ, Reebok, and StockX.
Offmeta has been co-founded by NumLock Ventures, an investment company and active partner for entrepreneurship in digital culture.
Jannis Wenderholm, co-founder & label head, said: “With Offmeta we’re breaking down barriers between content creators and music artists. Music and digital culture is in our DNA and by being independent, we’re able to form alliances with a wide range of partners in gaming, esports and just creators as a whole.”
Offmeta's aim is to expand the musical genres and repertoire in gaming content and create unique opportunities for our diverse roster within digital culture
