CRANKED UP RECORDS
The Next Chapter of Real Music.
It started with a microphone and a vision. After decades spent on the airwaves and in the crowd, our founder, radio personality and promoter Curtis McKinney, knew the music world needed something real. So we built Cranked Up Records—a movement for the artists who pour their souls into their craft and the fans who crave more than the same old noise.
We’re not here to follow trends — we’re here to amplify raw, authentic music.
From rock to country and everything in between, Cranked Up Records partners with artists who value craft over shortcuts, authenticity over hype, and long-term vision over temporary attention.
This is music built with intention — supported by experience, creative direction, and a commitment to helping independent artists grow beyond a single release.
BUILT FOR ARTISTS WHO MEAN SOMETHING.
Cranked Up Records exists for artists and listeners who believe music should still have identity, emotion, and staying power.
We believe in creative freedom, authentic storytelling, and building careers that connect beyond a single moment or trend.
