Burton Chapel Records, a new record label based in Weymouth, is soon to celebrate its first major signing with a high-profile live event in London.

Burton Chapel Records logoFounded in early 2024 by local music champions Jeremy Broad and Israel Rodriguez, the label is looking to spotlight rising talent often overlooked by the mainstream industry.

Jeremy and Israel have pledged to take a hands-on, artist-first approach and work closely with grassroots venues.

With that said, the duo now have their first major artist – George Moir, an indie pop singer-songwriter who’s been making waves on the festival circuit.

George’s track ‘Yesterday’ was recently crowned track of the week by BBC Introducing.

“Working with Burton Chapel Records has been an absolute joy,” he said.

“Being part of a small indie label means I’m involved in every step, working with musicians who truly understand the craft.

“I feel even closer to my fans, and my music is heard exactly the way I intended.”

Israel added: “Collaborating closely with artists and immersing myself in the indie music scene is incredibly rewarding.

“Our goal at Burton Chapel Records is to be a label that puts artists first, giving them the essential support they need to launch successful careers.”

George will be playing a debut showcase during an event hosted by the label at renowned indie venue The Grace in Islington, London on 2 March.

He joins the likes of Zola Courtney, Alfie Indra, Wax Works and Jack Dean on Burton Chapel – which is currently scouting new talent across all genres.
