10 Years of Highgest Frequency Records
Today, January 2, 2026 is 10 years since I launched Highest Frequency Records. Some great work has been done, pushing boundaries, blending genres and honoring the masters. Endless thanks and gratitude to my collaborators for helping this label in “serving the universal language” (the HFR M.O.) and to the audiences who have supported the original independent music since 2016.

What is the highest frequency? Loving kindness. Because true universal love is the strongest force there is and when you feel it, you become part of and serve something larger than yourself. Music is the frequency that heals and unites. It’s a spiritual langauage. I’m grateful to be able serve a small drop in a giant creative ocean. Happy 2026!
