AWAVE is a Stockholm-based record label building the next chapter of Arabic music — developing artists, producing records in-house, and managing careers for the long game.

The label was founded on a simple thesis: a generation of Arabic-speaking creators is making music that deserves global infrastructure — proper A&R, proper production, proper management — without compromising the culture it comes from. AWAVE exists to provide that.

We're a small house by design. We sign deliberately, we produce ourselves, and we treat every release as a body of work — not a content drop. Our roster spans trap, R&B, neo-tarab, electronic, and pop, with one common thread: artists who carry a point of view.

"We build artists for the long game — not the quarter."

The wave is already here. We're building the home for it.

What we do.

AWAVE is full-service. From the demo to the festival stage, every part of the artist's career is built and maintained in-house.

How we're structured.

AWAVE operates three connected divisions under one creative umbrella: the label (records & A&R), the production house (in-house producers and engineers), and management (career and touring infrastructure). Every artist gets access to all three.

We're set up to move quickly. Decisions stay close to the artist, not buried in a chain of departments.

Where we work.

A Stockholm-based label with a global outlook. As the roster grows, so does the footprint.
