Our Story

Since opening its doors back in 1956, Verve Records has upheld a core commitment to authenticity, artistry, and integrity. The label has always sought to provide a home for fearless and ambitious artists—acts who have something to say, and who are not limited by expectations, limitations, or trends. The one common thread from the legendary label’s inception to the present-day remains its staunch emphasis on unfettered and uncompromising creativity, championing pioneering voices with a platform like no other. As such, you can trace its history from seminal releases by everyone from Ella Fitzgerald, Herbie Hancock, and The Velvet Underground up to a new vanguard led by artists like Jon Batiste, Samara Joy, and Kurt Vile.
