Ninth Street Opus is a Berkeley, CA based independent record label, recording facility, and music think-tank dedicated to advancing a next generation of talent through comprehensive artist development.

The company works collaboratively with each artist to devise a custom plan best suited to their individual creative, genre-driven, and demographic needs.
Ninth Street Opus believes that the artists best positioned to reap the rewards of ongoing creative development and tireless efforts are those with a compelling live show, a consistent flow of quality recordings, well-appointed merchandise (on-the-road and online), and intelligent, focused marketing.
