Tasteful Licks Records was founded by Remedy Media Group in 2005.

Being primarily artist run, the label is known for their emphasis on artist development, a concentration on the profile, professionalism, and longevity of an artist’s career, rather than product development which focuses on the monetization of individual releases.
