IRED EMPIRE is an independent record label based in Akatsi, Volta Region, Ghana. Founded by John Setor Tefutor and Denis Enkson, with Benjamin Korkortsi as General Manager, our mission is to discover, promote, and grow the next wave of music legends in the Afrobeat, Hip-Hop, and Drill scenes. We build raw talent from scratch and amplify authentic sounds for a global audience.
Our vision is to become Ghana’s premier independent music label — known for empowering new talent, promoting original sounds, and delivering fair, profitable growth for artists and the company alike.
Our mission is simple: discover raw talent, develop artists, boost record sales, and grow audiences through smart marketing, strategic distribution, and powerful live performances. We stand by our artists every step of the way.
We take bold steps to discover and nurture talent that others might overlook. Initiative drives our search for fresh sounds and innovative strategies.
We treat our artists and partners with respect and integrity, building relationships on trust, loyalty, and mutual success.
We live and breathe music and entertainment. We believe great music has the power to inspire, connect, and move people everywhere.
We’re relentless about growing our brand, supporting our artists, and pushing Ghanaian music onto the global stage.
At IRED EMPIRE, we do more than sign artists — we provide the full package: recording, digital distribution, marketing, merchandising, and live shows.
We record, mix, and master top-quality music while retaining fair rights for both artists and the label. Through partnerships with DistroKid and Ditto, our artists’ music reaches over 150 streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, Boomplay, Audiomack, and more.
Beyond streaming, we help artists build loyal fanbases through powerful marketing, brand collaborations, and unique merchandise. We believe merchandise isn’t just a product — it’s a movement that amplifies artists’ identities and connects them directly with fans.
Our day-to-day work includes managing recording schedules, producing new releases, executing digital marketing campaigns, and coordinating events. We keep costs efficient by partnering with trusted industry players for production, promotion, and distribution. Our talented team — from A&R managers to marketing strategists — works hand-in-hand to help our artists break through and stay ahead.
Building an audience is at the heart of what we do. We leverage digital marketing, co-branding with local organizations, interviews, and online promotions to grow artists’ reach. We position IRED EMPIRE as a trusted, fresh, and vibrant music brand — recognized for nurturing talent and connecting people through sound.
Our artists earn through streaming, merchandise sales at concerts and online, and touring when feasible. This sustainable model ensures that both the label and its artists thrive together.
