Testimonial from Artist & Collaborator The Doll
“In 2018 I became aware of Grimalkin Records - the collective, the music, the outstanding work that was being achieved to support artists, communities, & charities etc etc - I wanted to be a part of this family, and to put as much effort and time as I was able into helping in any small way that I could.
Grimalkin Records champions marginalized and often overlooked people in the music world, focusing on QTBIPOC artists. The resulting label catalogue is varied, vibrant, it's quite simply a whole lot of fun, and if there was a festival of all these performers it would be one you would not want to miss.
Grimalkin Records is an inspiration to me, it is precisely what I want to see and hear more of in the music industry - a place of community, collaboration, and celebration.” -The Doll
