The who, what and why….

The idea to create Original Artists Records came as the natural response to witnessing my son Jonny Vandell pick up his guitar, and not only learn from his own volition, but to also compose his own songs with such integrity and passion.

My name is Marcus Vandell, and to date I’ve had a great deal of fortune to have collaborated, recorded and performed with many authentic, talented, successful and extremely dedicated, musicians, engineers and producers.

In a span of time that exceeds 30 years of playing, recording and composing music, I have been witness to many varied aspects of the ‘music industry’.

Music, is like air, or blood, or pulse, we need it. When we listen to something expressed in melody, rhythm, tone, we enter into a world of magic, a world of feeling. We do not need to ‘understand’ it, to feel it. We just give ourselves the opportunity to listen and respond, and see where it takes us, how it makes us feel.

Our main objective at Original Artists Records is to bring new original music to the world, giving independent artists a platform to release their sonic creations to the community of our very appreciative audience and beyond.

We look forward to sharing the creative and expressive journeys of our artists with you all!
