History
History
In 1996, Serafino Perugino began his career in the music industry as an Italian distributor for various artists in the field of classic rock, earning a strong reputation in the industry. In 1998, this reputation enabled him to establish Frontiers Records, named after Journey's album Frontiers. The label's first release was the double live album Never Say Goodbye by the British hard rock band Ten. Balancing working with new artists, Frontiers Records has become a label in the classic rock nostalgia circuit. Its roster includes several classic rock bands and artists, such as Toto, Journey, Whitesnake, Blue Öyster Cult, Styx, Survivor, Quiet Riot, Boston, FM, Glenn Hughes, Joe Lynn Turner, Jeff Scott Soto, Jeff Lynne, Yes, Little River Band, Winger, House of Lords, Thunder, Crush 40, and Hardline. In December 2010, Frontiers Records finalized a sales contract with EMI Music for U.S. and Canada distribution, which took effect in January 2011. After Universal Music Group (UMG)'s acquisition of EMI, UMG subsidiary Caroline assumed U.S. distribution. Beginning in January 2017, Sony Music or its independent labels distributor RED Music began distributing Frontiers Records releases in key markets, including the U.S., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Caroline Distribution (now Virgin Music Label & Artist Services) continued handling distribution in the U.K., while independent labels managed distribution in other parts of the world. Exclusive distribution in Greece is handled by Infinity Entertainment IKE. The exact date Frontiers Records rebranded itself as Frontiers Music remains unclear, though speculation suggests it occurred in 2014. Italian producer, singer, keyboardist, songwriter, and mixing engineer Alessandro Del Vecchio served as the label's in-house producer for thirteen years, until announcing his departure in March 2024.
