History

LoveRenaissance (LVRN) was founded in 2012 by rival party promoters Carlon Ramong, Justice Baiden, Junia Abaidoo, Sean Famoso McNichol and Tunde Balogun while students at Georgia State University. The agency specializes in talent management, creative direction and production, as well as marketing and strategic partnerships.[1] The first artist under the label was a singer-songwriter, Raury. In 2016, they added two more artists, DRAM and 6LACK, to their roster.[2]

On July 14, 2017, the label signed a distribution deal with Interscope Records, and launched a creative space studio in Atlanta called LVRN Studios. Sean Famoso said "This launch is another example of the power and influence of Atlanta's youth in the industry and culture. This studio and creative space belongs to the rest of the city as much as it does us. We want to make sure this place serves as a reminder nobody should have to travel across country to Los Angeles or New York to get started on their dream."[3] Tunde Balogun spoke with Billboard saying "What we're doing isn't a flash in the pan - it's about developing artists for the long run, that's Interscope's goal as well. That's why this works."[4] On January 8, 2018, Raury walked away from the label to become an independent artist.[5]
