Clouds Hill Cosmos
The Clouds Hill Group specialises in everything that music is and can be: the idea of a song, placed in a commercial or a movie; a high-end recording of a song pressed on vinyl and distributed to all record stores world-wide; a unique marketing campaign for an exciting album that will blow people‘s minds; communication with the most passionate fans from all over the globe. But Clouds Hill is more than a record label, publishing company or studio. We provide a second home for artists from all over the world. A safe space to work creatively shielded from the business buzz but still highly connected to all relevant parts of the music industry worldwide.
Founded as a vinyl label in 2009, Clouds Hill in 2022 is a world-wide operating group of companies with profound knowledge from the first idea to the finished product. From the initial idea of a song, to the recording and production process, all the way to the release on vinyl and digital, Clouds Hill Label accompanies the artist's journey. We embrace signing new artists and talent at an early stage, establish a lasting and sustainable foundation and providing them with an extensive marketing platform. We offer international artist building within a strong worldwide network and develop global perspectives. That‘s why we call it: The Clouds Hill Family. Part of this family are, among others: The Mars Volta, Omar Rodríguez-López, Teri Gender Bender, Emma Elisabeth, Gone is Gone, Wargirl, and many more.
In 2005 Johann Scheerer founded the Clouds Hill recording studio in Hamburg. International acts like The Beach Boys, The Killers and Elbow as well as national artists like Helene Fischer, Sportfreunde Stiller or Herbert Grönemeyer have rented our studio complex that features one of the most versatile collections of vintage gear available in Europe on 600 m2.
Clouds Hill Notes is the independent publishing division of the Hamburg-based Clouds Hill Group. With an international sub-publishing partner network, Clouds Hill Notes works across all borders to offer a worldwide publishing service for our artists, including administrative, creative, and sync services. We trust in a strong and personal relationship with our songwriters and composers and a modern and transparent data management. Our passionate team of experts works closely with copyright societies, film production companies and technology partners to guarantee an optimized control and placement of music. We are proud to work with artists like The Mars Volta, Baba Blakes, Wolf Biermann, Roman Fleischer, Two Year Vacation, or Teri Gender Bender and many more.
Founded in 2020, Clouds Hill Films is an integral part of the Clouds Hill Group, which has been a prominent player in the creative industry for over 15 years. The group encompasses an internationally renowned studio, music label, and publishing company, all sharing the same name. Over the years, they have been home to many different music productions from artists like Peter Doherty, The Beach Boys, The Killers, Elbow, Teenage Fanclub, The Libertines, Alice Phoebe Lou, and The Mars Volta. It's within this dynamic environment that Johann Scheerer's vision for Clouds Hill Films came to life.
