About us

GLM Music is an independent music company that is completely dedicated to music through its publishing house and music-label. Our music can be best described as jazz, world music, reggae and ambitious pop.

Since GLM Music was founded in 1988, we have compiled a rich catalog of quality productions and compositions, recorded and showcased by internationally renowned artists.

„Music for all senses“ is our prime motto because all our publications stand out through their impeccable quality. Be it a very special concert or the premium design of a CD or Vinyl LP – the listener will always experience something extraordinary. In addition to purely musical publications we have since decided to add elaborately produced audiobooks – music recorded by GLM artists, the words read by well-known voices and actors.

GLM Music’s owners have invested and continue to invest much blood, sweat and tears into their company. The GLM team and musicians see themselves as part of a family that is kept together with the love for music and appreciation of artistic achievements.

Artists like Quadro Nuevo, Mulo Francel, Stefanie Boltz, Sven Faller, Café del Mundo, Evelyn Huber, Chris Gall – just to name a few – are a reflection of the wide musical spectrum of GLM. Many of them have won a variety of awards in different regions and categories. GLM houses ECHO Jazz award winners, cultural prize winners, Creole award winners, Jazz Award winners, audiobook prize winners and much more.

What We Do

“Without music, life would be a mistake” (F. Nietzsche)

That’s why we work hand in hand with our artists—most of whom have been with us for many years—to achieve a common goal: to make the music we’re passionate about accessible to as many people as possible. “Our” artists should be able to focus on their creativity. We make this possible through extensive promotion both online and offline, high-quality production, a release concert at a suitable venue, and professional distribution. We distribute recordings worldwide through our distribution partners as well as on all relevant online platforms.

With over 30 years of success behind us, GLM Music—an independent record label specializing in jazz, world music, instrumental, and classical—is the ideal partner for bringing music to life!
