our lore

Close Collective is a culture-rooted creative agency and record label hybrid, founded by a group of friends united by faith, music, and community. We specialize in music services, creative direction, and music-driven experiences — connecting art, business, and culture through meaningful collaboration.

And at our core, we are artists who believe in excellence, authenticity, and integrity — empowering others to thrive creatively, spiritually, and professionally.

purpose

We exist to make the music industry accessible at a high level — helping artists, creatives, and brands bring their visions to life with clarity and community.

Close Collective was built to show that creativity and purpose can coexist. We inspire people to chase their dreams the right way: with intelligence, discipline, and good intentions. Through friendship, humor, and integrity, we model what it looks like to build something meaningful together — for good, not just for gain.

Positioning

At the crossroads of culture and commerce, Close Collective bridges the creative and business sides of music.

We help artists, creatives, and brands develop their sound, strategy, and story — from identity and content to performance and partnerships.

Our edge lies in our duality: we speak both the language of boardrooms and block parties. We’re as comfortable structuring a deal as we are throwing a show. Every move we make builds culture, connection, and credibility.

Vision

To redefine what it means to be “independent” in the music industry — creating a community-powered ecosystem that develops artists, nurtures creativity, and sustains livelihoods.

We envision a generation of creators who make timeless work, support one another, and succeed without compromising their values.

Close Collective is basically Bachi, Kaya, and Wilshem’s excuse to combine our talents, our friends’ talents, and our resources across different lanes — and to work with the people we love on the kinds of projects that our music-obsessed teenage selves would’ve geeked over. Tag along!!
