Kemosabe Records

Kemosabe Records is an American record label owned by Sony Music Entertainment based in Los Angeles, California.

History
In November 2011, Sony Music Entertainment partnered with music producer Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald to create Kemosabe Records. The company releases records with Sony Music Entertainment. Gottwald was given the rights to hire his own staff, sign artists and develop talent, but he was only able to produce records for Sony artists until 2016. In April 2017, Sony distanced itself from the producer after singer Kesha accused him of rape. As of April 26, 2017, the Kemosabe website is no longer accessible. On the RCA and Sony Music's Website, Kemosabe has also been removed from the "Labels" List, but still belongs to Sony and appears on Sony's Facts & Figures information page.

In April 2017, it was announced that Gottwald was no longer the active CEO of Kemosabe Records. According to filed court documents, Kemosabe is now wholly owned by Sony Music Entertainment, and that Gottwald did "not have authority to act on its behalf".
