Independent | Faith-Based | Non-Profit
Small Step Records is not your typical music label.
We are a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization dedicated to supporting
independent, faith-based bands in the alternative genres of punk, emo & ska music.
Our artists were made to create music. They HAVE to. Music inspires us to move from death to life.
We think this music is worth believing in and supporting.
doing it on our own, together!
Small Step Records was born in 2021 out of a network of independent artists rooted in the Indie Vision Music community.
We hope to build a community and band roster that unites and promotes independent artists...all done in true DIY fashion.
Since Small Step Records is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization, all finances received from merchandise sales and donations are put toward supporting our artists through album/single artwork, promotions, advertisements, merchandise production & distribution, radio/playlist campaigns, etc.
