RogueArt was founded by record producer Michel Dorbon in 2005, and its first release was the album, Bindu by jazz percussionist Hamid Drake.

After several years, Dorbon decided he wanted more control of the production process, and in 2005, he established his own record label, RogueArt in Paris.

"[1] He wanted the RogueArt covers to be "original, sober, noticeable and beautiful", and asked artist Max Schoendorff [fr] for ideas.

[3] Included in their catalogue is Passages (2012), a concept album by cellist Didier Petit and writer Alexandre Pierrepont.

It was made during a 2011 trip across America during which they stopped at Los Angeles, Woodstock, Chicago and New York City to improvise and record with local musicians, including Drake, Gerald Cleaver, Marilyn Crispell, Nicole Mitchell and Michael Zerang.
