OUR MISSION

According To Our Records (ATO Records) is a record label committed to artists and building their careers. Founded by Dave Matthews, manager Coran Capshaw, and two associates – Michael McDonald and Chris Tetzeli – ATO seeks out talented songwriters, musicians and performers for whom there is genuine passion and belief. ATO strives to build career artists. As a truly independent label ATO is steadfast in our commitment to maintaining that focus.

ATO is based in New York and distributes its records through RED. ATO looks for the label to evolve naturally on an artist-by-artist basis. The priority for the label is that there be sufficient time and attention to develop each artist and each release. There is no timeline, but there is a plan to build the label on the quality of the musicians we work with.

DEMOS

As a label that is committed to artists, ATO Records is by no means genre specific and we welcome new music. We encourage this open submission policy and trust that you as an artist feel ready to take on the challenges that lay ahead in the music industry. Please understand that it may not always be possible for us to offer substantial feedback. Keeping material to a minimum is best and it allows for us to concentrate on your key tracks. The live show is equally important to us and we support bands that strive to spread their music.

If we are interested in moving forward with your music, we will be in contact with you.  Due to high volume, we are not always able to provide feedback on demos.  Please refrain from cold calling.

Demo submissions will only be accepted by mail.

Please address all deliveries to:
ATO Records
Attn: Demos
44 Wall St., 23rd Fl.
New York, NY 10005

TAPING POLICY

ATO Records permits audiotaping at our artists’ performance, however this decision is ultimately reserved by each artist and their managment.
All recordings must be used for personal use or trading only. Selling or commercializing any recording is illegal and will jeopardize taping privileges for everyone.
