An independent label and its constellation of artists. Born in Los Angeles, shining out of Nashville.
A film composer, a cumbia band, a folk act from Spain: twenty points of light, and no two alike. We don't believe in boxes. We believe in stars.
One song from every artist. Turn it up and tune in.
Starlite Records was founded by record producer Rocco Guarino in Los Angeles, 2021. After years of working with major labels, Rocco decided it was time to create a platform where talent would come first, and artists would never be left behind.
Now based in Nashville, Starlite is an independent label with a big heart. We champion americana, roots rock, and alternative genres, but we don't believe in boxes. What matters most to us is talent, originality, and songs.
But Starlite isn't just a label; it's personal. The name and vibe is a tribute to Rocco's mom, a talented songwriter in the 1960s whose own music career never got the recognition it deserved. Her spirit and relentless tenacity live on in everything we do. This label is her legacy as much as it is his mission.
Starlite is small but mighty, and music comes first. Always. We rebel against the industry's red tape, stale formulas, and endless gatekeeping. Rocco being a songwriter and producer himself, he knows what it's like to kick down doors, and always has the artist's back. We fight for our people, helping them develop their vision with transparency and teamwork, and we believe in collaboration over control. Creating a space where musicians can thrive creatively and professionally is our north star.
