In the sprawling, eclectic musical landscape of Los Angeles, a new force has emerged: Blunt Records. Founded in late 2024 by the visionary Brazilian music producer and mixing engineer, Lil’ Art (Arthur Martins), this forward-thinking recording studio and independent music label is more than just a place to lay down tracks; it’s a cultural conduit, a creative sanctuary, and a launchpad for innovative artists.
Lil’ Art’s journey from Brazil, enriched by his UCLA Music Production Program education, to the heart of Los Angeles music scene, fueled the genesis of Blunt Records. He recognized the potential to bridge the vibrant rhythmic traditions of South America, especially Brazil, with the diverse, boundary-pushing sounds emanating from Los Angeles. Thus, Blunt Records was born, with a mission to cultivate a dynamic space for artists to experiment, collaborate, and connect with global audiences.
