[2] ECR Music Group was founded as Engine Company Records in 2002 by singer-songwriter, producer, and activist Blake Morgan.

[4] Morgan then began going to bands and artists he was recording at the time, and pitched an independent label where they would have control over their own material and output.

[5] He officially launched Engine Company Records in Manhattan, New York City[3] in 2002, and remains CEO and owner.

Morgan says: “One of the great things I’ve had in my career, that a lot of people have less and less of, is incredible mentors, who are giants in the recording world.
