THE STORY BEHIND DCM

MORE THAN A NAME.
IT’S A MOVEMENT.

Derby City Music started with a commitment to represent Louisville and build something of our own. Since 2010, the movement has grown around the music, the artists, the live shows and the belief that independent talent deserves a real shot.

Derby City Music ENT LLC officially formed in 2016, putting a company structure behind a movement that was already underway. The roots came first. The business grew from there.

Led by Dro The CEO, DCM operates as both an independent record label and a music entertainment company. The work is hands-on: releasing music, managing artists, building live opportunities and creating ways for the brand to connect with fans beyond the stage.

That foundation includes experience sharing stages with more than 60 national artists and working across a range of live shows and collaborations. Every step adds to the same goal: keep building, keep representing Louisville and take the work further.

Today, the DCM roster includes Dro The CEO, Austin P., RYZ!N and Auxberry. Each artist brings their own sound, while the label shares one foundation: independent ambition, hometown pride and the work it takes to move forward.

DCM is still growing. Music comes first, with live performances, merchandise and studio services helping bring the wider vision to life. No shortcuts, no forgetting where it started—just the next chapter of an independent movement built in Derby City.

Louisville-built. Independent-owned. Puttin on for Louisville since 2010.
