Money back,
where it belongs.

An independent Pretoria label built around local music and fair artist ownership.

Our story

Started in the capital.

Money Back Records began in a Pretoria bedroom studio. We support local artists with recording, production and a direct connection to their listeners.

Our aim is simple: more of the value goes back to the people who make the music.

What we stand for

Three principles behind every release and every deal.

01

Fair pay

Clear splits and direct sales put more of each sale back in the artist's hands.

02

Local first

Rooted in Pretoria and the Tshwane music scene.

03

Built to last

Artists keep their masters. Fans own the music they buy.

How we work with artists

Sales: Artist shares are based on the sale price and agreed upfront.

Masters: Releases are licensed for a fixed term; artists retain ownership.

Costs: Studio, artwork and mastering costs are agreed and capped upfront.

Payouts: Artists receive sales figures alongside payments into a local account.
