audioWAV is set to hit a high note in the music industry with the debut of WAV Records, its own music label.

WAV Records will be officially launched on March 2008 as audioWAV seeks to play an active role in the promotion of Filipino artists and the distribution of its music primarily in the Philippines and in the Asia-Pacific region.

“We want to hit it locally and internationally,” said Ann Angala Shy, general manager of WAV Records and a 15-year veteran in the Philippine music industry.

“I’ve seen the talents of our Filipino artists and they are truly world-class,” she said. “it’s time to export Filipino music.

The music label, which is backed by audioWAV’s technical expertise in recording and radio production, is now actively making partnerships with other independent and major music labels in the Philippines and abroad.

WAV Records is now also scouting for top-class local and foreign artists to promote, added Shy, former manager and promoter of top bands such as The Dawn, Eraserheads, Barbie’s Cradle and Asin, among others.

This would also include local musicians who carry a mass-appeal and can make a heart-warming connection with the Filipino masses.

Kadangyan, an up-and-coming ethno-tribal rock group, Chong, a Rock-Pop-Reggae band, and Los Angeles-based Stella’s Notch compose the initial line-up of bands under WAV Records.
