A New Indie Label with a Big Vision
When you think of Damien Sisson, you probably think of blistering thrash metal basslines and the Grammy-nominated legacy of Death Angel. But in our brand-new interview with him for Elevar Magazine, Damien steps into a different spotlight—this time as the founder of Shake N Bake Records, a Santa Rosa-based independent record label with a fresh mission: to create high-quality, timeless music while building a true community around it.
Shake N Bake Records is more than a label. Damien describes it as a platform for both artists and fans—a place where musicians can collaborate, experiment, and get the kind of support they rarely find in the traditional industry machine. With in-house mixing, mastering, and marketing services, plus an official online merch store, Shake N Bake is positioning itself as a one-stop shop for indie artists.
And the music? The label launched this year with Mystics of Tomorrow, its in-house band, dropping two singles—“Our Day Will Come” and “Cascading Lights”—alongside “No More Games” from solo artist Bud Burke. New music is promised every month, featuring artists like Dylan Patrick, Jordn Wolf, Alex Torres, and even Damien himself.
In the full video interview (watch below), Damien shares candid insights on why he started Shake N Bake Records, how he sees the music industry shifting toward direct-to-fan connections, and what he hopes this label will mean for the next generation of independent artists. His vision is clear: a community-driven, artist-friendly approach that puts creativity and connection first.
For musicians, this conversation is gold—practical, inspiring, and rooted in Damien’s real-world experience navigating both the major industry and the DIY underground. For fans, it’s a chance to see a side of Damien you might not have expected: the builder, the mentor, the visionary.
