ABOUT US­­

Historically:

Having begun as a production company in the year 2000, converting to a fully-fledged label (distributed by PInnacle) in 2003, Mike Batt’s Dramatico soon became one of the top indie record labels in Europe, both managing and acting as record label, initially  for Katie Melua’s ­­­sensational career launch, and issuing her first six albums, selling 11million albums and touring worldwide. The roster grew to include issues of records by Carla Bruni, Asa. Caro Emerald, Ego Lemos, Gurrumul, Jem, Marianne Faithfull, Parov Stellar, Robert Meadmore. Sarah Blasko, The Planets, Florence Rawlings, The Planets, The Wombles, Triggerfinger and Zaz.

Dramatico today

After a period of transition, Dramatico has morphed into a facilitator for the management and stewardship of the many and various “dramatico-musical” works, mainly initiated by Mike Batt himself, either as as a producer, writer or artist. Still very active as a record label (now distributed worldwide by Warner/ADA), Dramatico has cut back on its wider artist roster and is concentrating on the development of new artistic/commercial works, and the broader promotion of existing ones. These activities often flow through different associated entities, ultimately under the control of Dramatico.
