About Us.

It all began in June 2011, when Melvin Dillon wanted to start making vinyl. He built a business plan to take care of the independent artists all while allowing them to make as much money as possible. A record label that operated as a non-profit? Traditional record labels doesn’t always take care of their artists - and Melvin wanted to change that. 

Soul Step Records pays the upfront costs of production, and once we’ve made our investment, the rest of the profits are split evenly between Soul Step and the band. Melvin’s ability to pick and choose incredible talent has seen SSR artists get picked up by many major labels and grow their careers.

With over 80+ releases and even more in the pipeline, our records have been purchased and sent to all 50 states and to over 30 different countries while having worldwide distribution via Secretly and FatBeats.

We're continuing to grow with each release.
