Fidelity Records History
	Jonathan launched Fidelity Records out of his New Jersey home in 2003 with the release of The Escape Engines' Celebrity Role Model, a 12-track debut release from the emotionally tinged New Jersey hardcore band. The album has been welcomed by thousands with numbers continuing to grow by sales from online companies, independent distribution companies, and merchandise sales at performances. From this, Fidelity Records is quickly being recognized as one of the fastest growing independent record companies in the tri-state area and is becoming an industry known name. Fidelity Records prides itself on diversification within a niche market, building a reputation for discovering and developing innovative music while upholding its grass roots artist development. In its short history Fidelity has already introduced to the world creditable artists such as The Escape Engine, whose successes include a video that regularly appears on the MTV2 music channel, numerous articles and press interviews in national music magazines such as Alternative Press Magazine and CMJ Monthly Magazine, performing on 2003's Vans Warped Tour and CMJ Music Marathon, soundtrack credits on Warren Miller's Journey, and songs that appear on several nationally distributed music compilations. Recent additions to the roster includes We're All Broken and Race The Sun who are an exceptional set of emerging acts and are beginning to receive the same notable successes. Fidelity Records has already developed its working relationships with other successful entertainment companies and publications such as MTV, Go-Kart Records, Suburban Homes Records, The Militia Group, The Syndicate, JVC Records, Sonic Unyon Records, Rive Video Promotions, McGathy Promotions, Freedom Zone, Alternative Press Magazine, CMJ Music Magazine, AMP Magazine, RadioTakeover.com, Kevin Scanlon Photography, and AbsolutePunk.net. The label expanded its staff late 2003 with the addition of Kevin B. Robbins and, in early 2004, with Julie Kiefer. Kevin's previous work at MTV, his knowledge of band management and the music industry, experience in marketing, and web development have enabled Fidelity to expand its operation to accommodate growing volumes of new business. While Julie's effervescence, enthusiasm, and attention to detail with online promotions, street teams, and public relations enables our bands and audience to feel like an extension of the label. Fidelity Records aspires to create and sustain value by being recognized as an industry leader; valued by our listeners, sought after by bands and musicians, and respected by the music industry and by our competitors.
