NEW YORK - TelAve -- Sugatop Music, an independent, artist-led record label announces its launch. Part of the Broken Silence network of over 300 affiliate labels, distributed by The Orchard, a division of Sony Music Entertainment, Sugatop Music was created as a home for artists rooted in musicianship, storytelling, and cultural legacy.

Founded by Charles "Poogie" Bell — son of a musical legend and an artist in his own right — Sugatop carries the wisdom of generations.

"As the son of a musician and a drummer who has toured the world, I've seen both the beauty and the brutality of this industry. I started this label because I wanted something different — something fair, something real. I wanted to build a place where musicians aren't products — they're partners, said Poogie Bell. "We honor the roots of jazz, soul, and R&B while evolving the sound with today's voices."
