DTA Records is an American record label founded in December 2019 by Travis Barker, best known as the drummer of Blink-182. It is a joint partnership between Barker and 300 Elektra Entertainment (a label group owned by Warner Music Group), which distributes the label's releases.

History

DTA Records was founded on December 13, 2019, as a partnership between Elektra Music Group (now merged into 300 Elektra Entertainment).[1] Barker has stated that he wanted to use the label to help develop up and coming artists; "As an artist, it's important to me that an artist's vision is protected at all costs. It's crucial that I'm able to look an artist in the eye and believe it when I say we can take them from a basement to an arena." He also chose Elektra Music Group as the label's distributor due to their support for Barker's vision for the label. DTA Records also acts as a hub for Travis Barker and his collaborations with other artists. The same day, DTA released its first single, "Gimme Brain", a collaboration between Barker, Lil Wayne and Rick Ross.[2][3][4][5]

In February 2020, Jxdn became the first signing to the DTA Records label, following the success of his debut single "Comatose".[6][7] His first release on the label, the single "Angels & Demons" became a viral hit on TikTok and became DTA Records' first release to be certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), which it attained on July 2, 2021.[8] His debut album, Tell Me About Tomorrow, was DTA's first studio album release, and reached number 95 on the Billboard 200 Chart.[9]

On November 3, 2021, Canadian pop-punk singer Avril Lavigne announced she had signed to DTA Records.[10][11] She released her first single for DTA, "Bite Me", on November 9, 2021.[12] Lavigne released her first album through DTA, Love Sux, on February 25, 2022; it became DTA's first top-10 album on the Billboard 200 Chart, reaching number nine.[13]

On January 20, 2022, the punk rock band Ho99o9 (pronounced Horror) released the single "Battery Not Included" through DTA;[14] their first album since 2017's United States of Horror, titled SKIN, was produced by Travis Barker and released on March 11, 2022.[15]
