The Label

A Label Built Around Collaboration

Astonish Entertainment is a dynamic music licensing label dedicated to delivering high-quality, professionally produced tracks for sync placement in film, TV, and media. Independently owned since 2006.

What we do

With a streamlined one-stop sync licensing process, we make it effortless for creators to secure both master and publishing rights, saving time and enhancing projects with the perfect soundtrack. Artists who have released on Astonish include A.D.A.M. Music Project, No More Kings, Aranda, Dirt Poor Robins, TGONE, Astonish Outliers and Adam DeGraide, who bring a vibrant mix of rock, cinematic, pop and alternative sounds. Inspired by pop culture, our catalog features nostalgic tracks evoking iconic games like Pac-Man and movies like The Karate Kid, alongside energetic anthems tied to modern hits like Apex Legends. At Astonish Entertainment, we champion collaboration and creativity, ensuring our artists’ music resonates with audiences and elevates storytelling across media.

Collaboration is the method, not the slogan

A.D.A.M. stands for Artists Developing Astonishing Music, and the project was founded by Adam DeGraide on the idea that collaboration is the best way to make music. That is not a tagline here. A single album can carry more than twenty-five contributors: writers, vocalists, guitarists, drummers and engineers pulled together for the song rather than for a fixed line-up. It is why the catalog can move from a funk rock duet to a neoclassical piano piece to a hard rock war anthem without sounding like a different company made each one.

Why we record the way we do

Everything is cut to broadcast standard, and the rights are kept together deliberately. When the label owns the master and the writers publish through us, a music supervisor gets one phone call instead of four, and an artist gets paid without waiting on a chain of approvals. That structure is the reason our catalog clears quickly, and it is the single most valuable thing we offer the people who license our music.
