![]() Indie Label Spotlight: Carillo Music Chart-busting hits with heartAsk Rod Carillo about Rod Carillo and Rod will talk, at length, about everything but Rod Carillo – especially music – especially the music Carillo Music, the little label that could, is steady parading to the top of the dance charts. As a remixer of renown, Rod has helmed #1s for Tony Moran & Martha Wash, Donna Summer Dave Matthias, and Kaci Battaglia. Under his Carrillo Music imprint, he's logged global dance hits for Julissa Veloz ("It Would," "Take Control," "Mayhem," "Sweet Sugar Poison"); Eddie Amador and Georgia Nicole ("Spotlight"); Capretta ("Big Mama's House"); Natalia Flores ("Going Strong") and a host of others. The secret to Rod's success? "We never forget that are people behind every record -- they're called artists," says Rod. Rod's devotion to artist development is both old school and revolutionary, harkening back as it does to the days of Motown and Atlantic when label A&R staff would nurture their artists to fruition, a tradition that has sadly waned with the advent of YouTube, social networking and the demand for out-of-the-box (dare we say, cookie-cutter) hits.. "It's a battle we fight every day," says Rod. "We don't have the big budget of a major label; we've achieved radio play because of grass roots response to pure talent. Too many labels forget about their artists; it's more about the remixer; it's more about the theatrics, more about the production. We really believe in artist development; we really believe in our artists." Case in point: In addition to steering the career of breakout dance artist Julissa Veloz, Rod is ushering newcomer Alexis Salgado to the world stage. "It's a joint project, actually, with Julissa, one that has us very excited. Alexis is our next wave." Look for more of Alexis and lots more from Carillo Music HERE …
