Outstraight was established in 2015 by our founder Lewis Kenny. 

Outstraight as a collective begun its journey primarily as an arts group - producing some of the most dynamic spoken word content at time, while also curating events, exploring live art initiatives and hosting panel discussions discussing numerous topics that remain significant considerations for young adults & artists in Ireland today.

​

Since 2020, Outstraight has operated as a record label, with the addition of our director, Aaron Connery.

Aaron returned to Ireland from some time in Berlin, and in the early months of 2020 set out to pivot Outstraight from an arts collective, to a fully fledged record label. Today, Outstraight Records is a 10 artist strong roster, encompassing hip-hop, electronic music and a media production team to support our wider endeavours. Since 2022 - Outstraight Records has book more than 60 acts to perform at their shows, while also having numerous event collaborations with Bodytonic, The Sugar Club & festival appearances at All Together Now 2023.
