NEXT TO SILENCE: An aesthetic where turbulence and tranquility coexist.

 NEXT TO SILENCE was founded in 2009 as a New York-based record label. Over the past 15 years, it has transformed into a multifaceted creative organization that helps artists around the world expand their careers in a variety of ways.

 The vision for NEXT TO SILENCE was inspired by the creation story in Genesis 1. Before creation, the earth was still formless and empty. God, with His creative power, broke through the chaos and emptiness with four simple words, "Let there be light." He took hold of the silence and placed new sounds, new forms, and new creations in its place.

 Building upon this inspiration, NEXT TO SILENCE endeavors to create music and culture that not only breaks through the hearts of people but also allows them to experience the light of creation. We strive to attract artists from diverse backgrounds to produce music and various events that emphasize their authentic and organic essence. Our goal is to introduce new perspectives and elements to the artist's work through the process of creation and exploration.©
