A Milestone for Legacy Music


Legacy Music, the recording division of Legacy Foundation, has been nominated in the Record Label/Distributor category at the 2026 Hollywood Independent Music Awards (HIMA). This recognition highlights the excellence of independent music on a global stage.


This nomination is not just a trophy; it celebrates the power of independent music. It reflects our commitment to an artist-first approach built on creativity, ownership, innovation, and long-term development. We believe in the potential of every artist and the stories they tell through their music.


Recent Achievements


Recent milestones have been exciting for us. LaVee has surpassed 11,000 Spotify streams! With new releases and projects continuing throughout 2026, the momentum is strong.


As an official Recording Academy Registered Media Company, Legacy Foundation provides an international submission pathway for independent artists, songwriters, and producers. This pathway opens doors for talent to shine on a global platform.


A Message from Our Director


"This nomination is an honour, but more importantly, it demonstrates what is possible when independent artists and labels build with vision, ownership, and purpose," says Richie Campbell, Director of Legacy Foundation. His words resonate with our mission to empower individuals and artists alike.


Celebrating 15 Years of Support


As Legacy Foundation celebrates 15 years of supporting independent music, we want to express our gratitude. Thank you to our artist collective, partners, and community for being part of this incredible journey. Your support fuels our passion and drives us to achieve more.
