Speaking about ‘Storm in a Teacup’ music producer Jamal Rahman said, “The True Brew Records show, Storm in a Teacup, was a bigger step forward in my pursuit of really pushing the live music scene in Pakistan, that I first started with my ‘Live at True Brew’ shows. For Storm in a Teacup, our focus was on the young, independent music scene, where we promoted indie artists who came from Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad, just for this festival. At True Brew, I have a lot more exciting live music planned for 2014 along with a fresh take on music for feature films and singles, and I look forward to sharing this with everyone later this year.”

Indeed, True Brew Records was first conceptualised in 2009, with a vision of becoming the focal hub for all genres of music in Pakistan. In December 2010, Jamal’s vision was put into motion as True Brew Records was inaugurated as a unique platform providing recording space and state-of-the-art production facilities for artists seeking to explore new sound as an alternative to mainstream music producers. True Brew Records aspires to be the first independent record label in Pakistan that provides a diverse array of services to artists and musicians, including and not limited to, financial, musical, aesthetic, technical and distributional support.
