COMPANY SUMMARY
The Numero Group is an internationally recognized archival record label and rights management firm with offices in Los Angeles, Chicago, and London. Founded in 2003 by Rob Sevier and Ken Shipley, for over two decades Numero has been mining the 20th century for sonic curios, packaging and contextualizing their discoveries for a new generation of listeners.
With over 20,000 songs in the catalog, Numero distills forgotten music and iconography from around the globe into LPs, CDs, 45s, tapes, board games, playlists, books, plush toys, and everything between. Our in-house sync specialists have up-cycled thousands of copyrights into film, television, advertisements, and hits by Drake, Travis Scott, Lizzo, Pusha T, Logic, Solange, and Chance The Rapper, while our 12-time Grammy nominated team of master storytellers and craftspeople have redeveloped the careers of Duster, Laraaji, Pastor T.L. Barrett, Unwound, Penny andamp; The Quarters, Blondie, and Syl Johnson.
There is no Numero sound, rather, Numero is an aesthetic. An art project disguised as a business, a powerful collection, distribution, and marketing firm masquerading as an old fashioned record label.
