Custom Soundaround

Custom Soundaround was founded in the early 1970s by music producer and entrepreneur Mark Henderson in Los Angeles, California. Initially focused on rock and pop, the label quickly expanded its catalog to include genres such as funk, soul, and later, electronic music. During the late 1970s and 1980s, Custom Soundaround gained prominence by signing influential artists like the funk band The Groove Collective and pop sensation Lisa Hart. The label's innovative marketing strategies and commitment to artist development helped it thrive during the competitive music landscape of the 1980s. In the 1990s, Custom Soundaround embraced the emerging electronic scene, signing notable acts like DJ Pulse and Synthwave Collective. Despite facing challenges from digital music trends in the 2000s, Custom Soundaround maintained a loyal fanbase and continued to release music from both established and emerging artists. Its legacy is marked by a diverse catalog that reflects the evolution of popular music over several decades.
