Dave Shapiro (Booking Agent at The Agency Group, Los Angeles) and Portland, Oregon’s Rise Records are pleased to announce their recent partnership to create a new imprint in the Rise Records family- Velocity Records. Dave Shapiro will own and run the new label with the help of the Rise team, and will be working directly with Rise on all upcoming and future projects.
