History

Tasteful Licks Records was founded by Remedy Media Group in 2005. As with all RMG subsidiaries, Tasteful Licks was constructed as an independent ‘productization’ of consolidated Remedy services and capabilities. Being primarily artist run, the label is known for their emphasis on artist development, a concentration on the profile, professionalism, and longevity of an artist’s career, rather than product development which focuses on the monetization of individual releases.
