ABOUT KILLEM COLLECTIVE

MIssion Statement:
Killem Collective is committed to fostering the communities it started from. Our goals have and will always remain the same: produce dope content, feed the people, inspire innovation, dream in reality, repeat...

About:
Founded in 2014, Killem Collective was formed by members Ichikara Valdez, Joel Martinez, Christopher Cantu and Sergio Selvera. Representing an eclectic mix of talent from various professional backgrounds, the company began as an indie record label looking to help produce and aid in helping promote, distribute and book local artists. Killem has grown into a destination for some of Houston's most diverse and burgeoning artists; working with multiple genres ranging from Hip-hop, Alt. Rock, Jazz and R&B. With the help of networks around the US and globally, Killem has become more than the record label it originated as, and looks to be moving toward continuing its presence in the festival, music distribution, events and production scene
