KidinaKorner (stylized as KIDinaKORNER) is an American music company founded in 2011, by British music producer and songwriter Alex da Kid. The company houses a record label, music publishing, commercial production and a marketing agency. The company is home to several prominent acts in the music industry, including Imagine Dragons and X Ambassadors.
In 2010, Alexander "Alex da Kid" Grant founded Wonderland Entertainment, a publishing and production company.[1] On August 10, 2010, it was revealed he had signed American singer-songwriter Skylar Grey, to a publishing deal.[2][3][4] On June 1, 2011, Interscope Geffen A&M Records, a subsidiary of Universal Music Group, announced Grant signed a joint venture deal to launch his label imprint, KidinaKorner.[5][6] The announcement came after Grant produced three of 2010's biggest singles, namely "Airplanes", "Love the Way You Lie and "Coming Home", as well as 2011's "I Need a Doctor". On June 14, 2011, KIDinaKORNER released Skylar Grey's debut single, titled "Dance Without You," via digital distribution.[7] In November 2011, Grant signed American rock band Imagine Dragons and in 2012, released their debut album, Night Visions.[8][9] Night Visions, included the certified-diamond single "Radioactive", which spent a record-setting 87 weeks on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.[10] In 2015, KIDinaKORNER released X Ambassadors debut album, VHS 2.0, which was certified-gold by the RIAA.
After partnering with brands like Jeep, Target, and Budweiser, KIDinaKORNER entered into joint venture with WPP, one of the largest marketing and communications companies in the world, to build marketing campaigns centered around music.
