deadAir Records is an American independent record label founded by Jesse Taconelli, Billie Bugara and Quinn Dupree in 2021. [1]
In addition to physical media, deadAir also designs and sells merchandise for its artists. [1] [2]
Quinn and Taconelli crossed paths while the latter worked as a music journalist and janitor. Covering up-and-coming artists and niche music scenes, he noticed mismanagement as a lead cause of young artists' careers ending sooner than they had to. They co-founded deadAir "in hopes of giving quinn a shot at something better". [3] Bugara also worked as a music journalist and wrote about multiple future label mates during her time at Complex and Lyrical Lemonade. [3] [4] As of 2022, Taconelli worked as creative director of deadAir and manager for Quinn, as well as label mates Jane Remover and Quadeca. [3] [5] [6]
