Jamateur Records – Authentic Sounds, Unique Productions
Jamateur Records – also known as Jamateur – is a New York City-based record label dedicated exclusively to producing and releasing its own audial and visual creations. Our mission is to craft unique and vibrant musical experiences by blending diverse sounds, styles, and cultures from around the globe.
The story of Jamateur began with a simple yet profound idea: professional musicians coming together to jam with the raw, unfiltered instincts of amateurs. This vision came to life in our early jam sessions, where spontaneity met artistry. Recognizing the magic in these moments, Ilker Ciraci captured the essence of these sessions and collaborated with Cenk Tezil for their first production trials. What started as an experimental endeavor quickly grew into a dynamic collective of musicians under Ilker and Cenk’s leadership.
At Jamateur, we value creativity in its purest form. Our catalog is entirely self-produced, featuring a blend of improvised jam sessions and meticulously crafted compositions and arrangements. By collaborating with exceptional musicians from across the globe, we infuse our work with an eclectic range of musical influences, creating the distinctive sound that defines Jamateur.
Whether it’s capturing the energy of a live jam or perfecting a pre-written piece, we are committed to producing music that resonates deeply with our audience. As a record label, we proudly focus on our own productions, ensuring that each release carries the authenticity and innovation that our name represents.
Jamateur is more than a record label—it’s a creative space where musical exploration and cultural exchange thrive, delivering timeless content for listeners worldwide.
