Forté Records

The Forté project is a ground-breaking talent development model that helps shape the next wave of music professionals in Wales by offering mentoring, masterclasses, training and plenty of various opportunities to boost the profile of music and musicians from Wales.

Their alumni include a long list of artists who have gone on to do great things, including two of the most recent Triskel Award Winners, Aderyn and Minas; Canton rockers CVC, who are about to tour their critically-acclaimed album across the UK; and valleys trio Chroma, who will soon jet off to SXSW in Texas.

Weeks after announcing their Forté 10 for 2022-23, Forté staff, friends and alumni gathered in Porter’s on the 30th of January to celebrate 8 years of the project AND to hear the announcement that they will be launching their own record label.

“We’re thrilled to be working alongside PYST in the creation of Forté Records” says Alexandra Jones from Forté, “It feels like a natural step that will breathe new life into the project. Forté Records aims to support artists in the Welsh Music Industry by lessening barriers surrounding the releasing of music.”

Not only will Forté’s new label give platform to the artists on their 2022-23 roster to release upcoming project, but will also aim to release projects by Forté alumni and non-affilited artists in Wales, all with aim of lifting artists in Wales to new heights.

PYST are very excited to be working alongside Forté to distribute their music this exciting new venture. Keep your eyes peeled on PYST and Forté Project socials for future announcements.
