Philadelphia's Creative Home for Queer & Allied Artists
Elevating queer & allied voices. Artistry first. Community always.
WHO WE ARE
At XVII Records, we champion the voices of queer and allied artists in Philadelphia and beyond. We are more than a music label — we are a creative home, a platform for authenticity, and a force for representation.
Our mission is to nurture bold artistry, amplify underrepresented voices, and provide the resources, guidance, and community that empower artists to thrive on their own terms.
By celebrating identity and pushing boundaries, we’re building a catalog — and a culture — that reflects the freedom, resilience, and brilliance of queer and allied creativity.
SHORT FILM FOR
"IN THE MOOD"
We're excited to share our first piece of original content by Philadelphia's very own Taizu. The short film entitled "The Whole Of Loneliness" showcases Taizu's latest single "In The Mood", and speaks to some of the darker elements of desire, lust, and fantasy. We hope you enjoy!
