History edit

Redeye is represented worldwide with U.S. offices in Hillsborough, NC,[1] as well as San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Seattle, and New York City; and international offices in London,[2] Berlin, Sydney, and Toronto.[3][4] The company is also a member of multiple industry-related organizations including Merlin,[5][6] the Music Business Association,[7] and A2iM.

Redeye owns and operates the Yep Roc Music Group, a label group that includes Yep Roc Records, Break World Records, and Studio One Records as well as the Riff City Sounds publishing company.

Redeye was awarded the National Association of Recording Merchandisers Distributor of the Year Award (Small Division) seven times in 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007.[8] The Music Business Association honored Redeye with the Independent Spirit Award at Music Biz 2016.[9][10][11]

In December 2019, Redeye acquired major Swedish distributor Border Music.[12] In January 2020, Redeye became the distributor of Domino Recording Company, Saddle Creek Records, and Beggars Group.[13]

In July 2020, Redeye announced "staffing changes" to increase diversity following online blowback surrounding racial business practices and hostile work environments, which came shortly after the company announced their support via social media for the Black Lives Matter movement during the George Floyd protests.[14]
