History
History
Mom + Pop was founded by Michael Goldstone in 2008, with initial backing from Q Prime founders Peter Mensch and Cliff Burnstein. The label first operated from an office in Times Square, across from the Brill Building. In 2013, it moved its New York City office to Manhattan's NoMad district, and later added a Los Angeles office. Mom + Pop employs around 15 staff members across its New York City and Los Angeles locations, in roles including A&R, digital marketing, and design. The label's first two signings were An Horse and Joshua Radin. Subsequent signings have included Tokyo Police Club, Freelance Whales, Sleigh Bells, Metric, Ingrid Michaelson, Andrew Bird, Lucius, FIDLAR, Poliça, Neon Indian, Jagwar Ma, Jai Wolf, Alina Baraz, Sunflower Bean, and Flume, among others. Mom and Pop signed Courtney Barnett in 2014, prior to her nomination for Best New Artist at the 2016 Grammy Awards. In 2017, the label signed Alice Merton following the performance of her single 'No Roots' on the German radio and music charts. In June 2020, Billboard included Goldstone and Rudd in its annual "Indie Power Players" list, which recognizes executives for their work within the independent music sector.
