Moving independent artists of all genre forward in process & product with a sense of nostalgia.”
Founded by Record Producer Mitchell Walker and Creative Producer Ashley Kate Adams of AKA Studio Productions. Meet No Reverse Records: a full service record label specializing in production, publishing, artist management, PR, and placement. No Reverse Records, initially a pie-in-the-sky dream based on
an anecdote of co-producer Ashley Kate Adams’s faulty vehicle that could not move backwards, has been a source of high energy production throughout the pandemic. After a decade of producing independently and within collaboration, record producer Mitchell Walker and independent creative producer Ashley Kate Adams of AKA Studio Productions announce their independent record label No Reverse Records. Walker and Adams originally met in College at University of Cincinnati College- Conservatory of Music in 2005 where they spent that summer in a red Chrysler that would not drive in reverse, only forward. Since, they have taken that motto to heart and have been producing albums together in NYC since 2011 as Ashley closed with the Broadway Company of La Cage aux Folles. Says Adams and Walker, “After a decade of creating music and magic in the studio together, we’ve decided to make it official through combining our expertise and starting our own entity as partners. We’ve stayed true to our independent and self-produced roots by honing in on each individual artist's specialities, goals, and development through our full service label that includes artist management. Most recently Adams and Walker collaborated on the Grammy considered Frankie! The Musical album (Broadway Records) by Elise Marra featuring a production team of multiple Grammy winners including Alex Venguer & Oscar Zambrano. Other albums of collaboration include Michelle Dowdy’s A Brass Act, Alexa Green’s SO GOOD (Broadway Records), Crossroads (Roven Records), The Monster Maker’s Gay Bride of Frankenstein EP and Lauren Turner’s EP (Broadway Records).
