Our mission is to empower emerging DIY artists to connect with an audience that seeks fresh and distinctive music.
Welcome to Zen Dozer Records, a DIY label built by artists, for artists. We’re not some faceless industry machine—we’re a crew of musicians, producers, and creatives who believe in lifting each other up and sharing what we’ve learned along the way.
Founded by Dean Dunakin—artist, producer, and all-around music lifer—Zen Dozer is about keeping the music first. No industry gatekeeping, no unnecessary middlemen. Just a platform where independent artists can create, collaborate, and thrive. All the artists bring their own experience to the mix, making sure everyone on the roster gets the support and knowledge they need.
Community is everything. We trade remixes, swap production tricks, co-write, and back each other up—on stage and off. It’s a space where creativity flows freely, and every artist has a shot at making their mark.
And we’ve seen it work. Our artists have licensed tracks and landed sync placements with ABC, MTV, Discovery Channel, Food Network, Netflix, TV3+, Red Bull and others, bringing DIY music to audiences worldwide.
If you’re an artist looking for a label that actually gets you, or just looking fresh and distinctive DIY music, welcome to the family. Let’s make something real.
