At SRI we believe that music is an important part of everyone's life and we take pride in our ability to bring quality music to everyone. We are known as an Artist friendly label and we are very proud of that as well.

SRI Records and SRI Jazz are divisions of the SRI Entertainment Group. It is our mission to bring great music to the public at reasonable prices. The core audience for our music is the baby boomer generation, but by no means is it limited that group alone. Our record companies market recordings by major artists, many of which have never before been available. We offer the opportunity for established artists with completed albums to be distributed and retain ownership of their masters. We also produce and distribute recordings by talented new artists. The management of SRI Records is made up of experienced music industry professionals. SRI can provide private label CDs for companies that require them for premiums and give-a-ways.

In addition to being an active record company, through SRI Entertainment we produce concerts, tours, television specials and other events. Plus we have a video division (SRI Video) for VHS and DVD releases and a music publishing division, Golden Shellsongs Music.

Our President/CEO

A veteran of more than 35 years in the entertainment industry, Shelly Liebowitz has a very diversified background including experience as a performer, writer, director, record promoter, record producer, personal manager and as an executive at recording and publishing companies. During the early sixties, when he was a teenager, Liebowitz attended his first recording session. That event set the tone for the rest of his life. Liebowitz began spending much of his time at studios in New York City at recording sessions for top artists watching and learning the process. He recorded several songs and then he then began writing songs and joined "The Phantoms" (guitar and vocals), a group with a strong following in the New York City area. He soon realized that his strength was not in performing and decided to pursue the business side of the industry beginning in record promotion. He worked for several labels in promotion and later in the A & R department, learning all that he could about the business and in the seventies began producing records, concerts, live shows and later managing artists. In 1978 he was appointed Vice-President of East Coast Operations for Capitol Productions, a management company that represented more than 100 singers, musical groups, songwriters and actors. Additionally, during this period he wrote and directed two television pilots.

In 1980 he left Capitol and formed Belvedere Records signing new artists plus a few that he had previously managed. The label released recordings by both rock and country groups, had a few minor hits and a growing roster. He was the label's President, record producer, directed several music videos and started a music publishing company division to foster young songwriters. It was during this time that he donated his services and talents to help out on two tribute shows at Radio City Music Hall for the Black Music Association: "To Basie With Love" (a tribute to Count Basie - 1982) and "Miles Ahead" (a tribute to Miles Davis - 1983), both shows were fund raising events for the BMA's musical scholarship fund. Liebowitz also produced several benefit concerts for many other causes in and around the New York area. In the mid 80's he sold Belvedere and concentrated on producing shows, records, concerts and managing talent. In 1986 Liebowitz moved to Florida and formed Creative Media, a company with talent management, video, and advertising and production divisions. Once again his roster of clients became impressive and he continued to produce benefits, concerts and recordings. At this time he signed new talent such as The Johnson Boys, Darrell Chambers, Kim Hoyer, Da Boyz and Sandro. Liebowitz produced a benefit concert for the Artificial Reef Foundation, which has become an annual event called "The Coconuts Festival". In the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew, Liebowitz quickly put his talents to work and co-produced a music video for the Florida Hurricane Relief Fund utilizing the classic song "You'll Never Walk Alone" featuring one of his recording artists, Darrell Chambers. The filming took place the day after the hurricane in the most devastated areas with the help of the Governor's office. In 1996 as a consultant for The International Jazz Hall of Fame, Liebowitz assisted in the arranging for the host (Steve Allen) and several presenters and sponsors for the IJHF's Inductions Ceremonies. Liebowitz has licensed recordings worldwide and has marketed recordings via the Internet, Direct Response Television Advertising and acts as a consultant to several music industry companies. In 1998 Liebowitz relocated to southern California and, for a short time, was a consultant to the Genesis Group. Since 1999 Mr. Liebowitz has been the President & CEO of the SRI Entertainment Group and was the Executive Producer of "Judy, Frank & Dean" a pledge drive Special for PBS Television stations nationwide and Executive In Charge Of Music Clearances for "Let's Do It Again" also for PBS Television.
