The Company
Pioneer Records LLC is an independent record label formed January
25, 2005 by Kirth Atkins, Angel Colon, and Ameth Howell. Prior to forming
an independent label, two principals from Pioneer Records, Kirth Atkins
and Angel Colon, were members of the group “Sinister” but quickly moved
into producing and song writing. Kirth Atkins and Angel Colon have
been in the industry for eighteen years. Their experience has led them
to write, produce, and work with well-known artists and producers in
the industry.
With the growing market and the advancement of technology, the ability
to form an independent label was not only profitable, it also gave
them the ability to produce and market acts to present them to the
public in a manner they felt was lacking in the industry today. In
forming the independent label, Kirth Atkins and Angel Colon were introduced
to Ameth Howell, the third principal of Pioneer Records, who at the
time had been managing groups in Panama and promoting events to bring
exposure to Panamanian artists. Their meeting and similar views of
how they wanted to present artists to the public involved into forming
Pioneer Records LLC.
Pioneer Records signed their first artist, “Rhino”, a promising rapper
from York, PA. Later they signed “El Almirante”, aka “Almirante”, a
well-known Latin and Reggaeton artist in Panama and all over Central
America who has several hit singles and an album that he released in
Panama before signing to Pioneer Records, and “King Blak” an aspiring
Reggaeton artist also from Panama. Almirante will be the first artist
released with his debut album on Pioneer Records LLC entitled “Abriendo
Puertas” releasing in October 2007. Pioneer Records LLC’s mission is
to present artist in the genre of R&B, Rap, Reggae, Reggaeton,
and Latin music to the public. With their combined strengths and direction,
they have come up with the formula that will guarantee them great success.
