our story

After founding and operating Apex Talent Group since 2011, Emily and Richard Makarewicz decided to create a record label to support up-and-coming artists in the music industry. Having the perspective of being talent managers for a decade, they are dedicated to operating Visionbolt Records with a more hands on approach. Marketing to playlists, finding sync opportunities, creating remix packs, and pitching out releases to press are just some of the areas they intend to focus on.

Emily will lead the company as the CEO. Given her personal involvement in the music industry having graduated from The Juilliard School with her Undergrad and Masters in music as well as continuing on to become an EDM DJ, Producer, singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist - she is excited to find fresh talent to bring to the label, especially in the dance genres of techno, house, midtempo, and dubstep. Richard is the President, and he is looking forward to discovering talented pop singers, hip hop artists, and alternative artists.

Creating a relationship with their artists is the most important aspect of Visionbolt Records. Having an open line of communication about the vision of their artist's music is the cornerstone of their working philosophy.
