Blacklight Records

Blacklight Records is a record company that is based in the UK. It was officially launched by Gabriel Dresden and Jean-Luc Bareilles from Dresden & Bareilles. The record company has been steadily growing since it opened its doors to new signees in January of 2011. The label has since expanded its operations, opening branches of the label in Australia and America. Gabriel runs the label in America, while Jean-Luc handles the Australian territory. Candi was promoted to senior partner in late 2011, taking control of operations in the UK and Europe to allow Dresden & Bareilles to work on the international branches of the label.

History
Dresden & Bareilles spent their time at Saturdays Records learning as much as they could about running a label, so that upon leaving in late 2010 they had the knowledge to establish their own imprint. The label was founded in November 2010, and in this initial stage the business was kept largely private, with only two acts signed - the band themselves, and Riley Brendan. In 2011 the label officially opened its doors, and quickly began to build up a roster. Dresden & Bareilles were the first to notice then-newcomer Candi, taking on what would become one of the label's biggest and most recognisable stars. Since then, other high-calibre acts such as Curriculum, Flaming Steffy, Dante, India-Skye, Sexy Star, Phoenix Rising and Vixen have signed to the label. In July 2011, Riley Brendan departed from the label to focus on his US career; this was prior to the label's expansion into America.
