Chasm Entertainment was formed in 2001 by founding partners Albert Banuelos, Alex Escobar, Cheryl Heath, and Robert Roig. Unified by their common vision to create a conscious-oriented, independent record label, the members of Chasm bonded over the desire to supply the industry with distinctive, responsible music. Since the formation of Chasm, the company has incorporated and is now known as Chasm Entertainment, LLC, naming Albert Banuelos as CEO, Robert Roig as President, Cheryl Heath as Vice President, and Brian Ford (Setram Music) as VP of A&R.

During the development of Chasm Entertainment, LLC, a recording studio has also been established. The studio not only serves as a creative melting pot of talent and skill, but also offers independent artists, producers, and their partners a “home.” Chasm’s studio is a well-equipped digital recording studio that functions primarily with Cubase SX and Reason 2.5. The studio’s creative atmosphere is enhanced by a formal reception area, a lounge inspired by southern jazz culture, and a large production room.

Following the company’s view of producing responsible music, Chasm was hand selected to work with the students of 186th Street School in Gardena, CA. The project allowed a small group of aspiring young artists to work closely with professional writers and talented producer Brian Ford of Setram Music to create a hip-hop album for their community. The children completed the recording process in the Chasm studio, the product of which was a very powerful, heart-warming album entitled, “Love the Kids…Voices of 186th Street School.” For urther information on the album, please visit http://www.lovethekids.com.

In 2004, Chasm Entertainment agreed to collaborate with Setram Music to assist its promotions, manufacturing, and distribution of the upcoming “Go Gettaz” EP, as well as several impending solo projects (visit http://www.gogettaz.info for more information). The joint venture has created a solid business foundation in an attempt to launch the careers of all artists involved and impact the music industry as no other label has.
