Our philosophy is to nurture and support musicians with every aspect of their career by maintaining business practices of honesty, respect, fairness and transparency.
OOB Records is an international independent record label located in the Netherlands. OOB stands for ‘Out Of the Box’! We proudly represent bands, duos, trios, and singer-songwriters from a broad spectrum of genres. Although OOB Records is new on the label scene, it is already established with a large network of associates for: production, promotion, and distribution. Plus, media resources of journalists and radio pluggers. Artists are treated as unique individuals and work directly with the label’s owner, who functions as liaison for all the Artist’s music needs. OOB Records believes in creating long lasting relationships. Prior to signing an Artist a meeting is arranged to get acquainted and to determine if there is a click and if OOB Records is the right fit for the Artist. A face to face meeting in the Netherlands, or via video call.
ALL genres are welcome at OOB Records for distribution services, but our resources for in-house paid promotion are a limited to: Progressive Rock, Folk, Alt-Rock/Country/Folk, Indie Rock/Folk, Ambient Dark/Light, and World Music. We work with trusted associates for all other genres. If your music is purely Celtic Folk, Pagan Folk, Medieval Folk, Baroque Folk, Scottish/Irish Folk or Country, you would probably be a better fit on our sister label, Friendly Folk Records, or both labels might be recommended for maximum exposure.

K. J. Keller, Owner/Founder…
OOB Records was established by Kathy J. Keller, (Aug/2020) from her love and passion for all music genres. As owner of an established Folk music label since 2017, and music promotion company since 2015, she is no stranger to the music scene. Having to turn away musicians from her Folk label, because they didn’t fit in a folk genre box, became a frustration point. With encouragement of musician friends in the Progressive Rock genre, she created OOB Records label and welcomed all genres.
Keller started in the music business as a journalist in 2013, which sparked creation of a music management company in 2014 (My Music Matters-MT), which eventually became known as Friendly Folk Promotion in 2018. Surrounded by a professional support team who are always busy behind the scenes, it leaves Keller with an opportunity to personally oversee each Artist account and maintain a hands on approach at OOB Records. Keller is also owner of Friendly Folk Records, and from 2014-2022 she was show host of Kat’s Korner radio show, featured weekly on Prog Core Radio (Canada) and Raven Radio (USA).
