Dirty Hit founder Jamie Oborne has told Music Week that the label’s US launch will enable it to “build amazing global campaigns”.

Oborne is currently in discussions with potential distribution partners as the label establishes a base in LA.

“We want to build Dirty Hit into a really strong, vibrant, safe place for artists that is a genuine alternative to signing to an indie or a major,” he said. “We want partnerships with as many great artists as we can.”
