Stoopid Daddy Records is a small independent record label located about 20 miles outside of New York City. The label was formed and incorporated by Scott Staton in 2007 to create, produce and market Jazz, Rock and Blues based music for an adult audience. We are committed to creating the highest quality productions possible and we represent mature artists who are as committed to their art as we are to developing meaningful music for an audience who appreciates excellent musicianship and inspiring music.
Being an independent operation we work in a few small home based studios, maximize digital technology by sharing electronic files and we keep our overhead low so as to invest as much as possible in hiring the best talent and expertise to help us create and market recordings that are designed to inspire and move our listeners.
Our artists are seasoned professionals who have performed live for many years, are equally comfortable in a recording studio and have worked on their craft for most of their lives. We currently have a large archive of original recordings and we are committed to building and preserving a body of work which we hope will have a lasting appeal to people who share similar musical sensibilities.
