Innovative Leisure

Innovative Leisure is an independent record company based in Los Angeles. Founded in 2010 by Hanni El Khatib, Jamie Strong, and Nate Nelson, the label has quickly established itself as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.
With a focus on nurturing and promoting emerging talent, Innovative Leisure has become known for its diverse roster of artists spanning various genres. From rock and punk to soul and electronic music, the label prides itself on pushing boundaries and challenging conventional norms.
Driven by a passion for creativity and innovation, Innovative Leisure continues to discover and support groundbreaking musicians who are redefining the sound of today. With their finger firmly on the pulse of contemporary music trends, this label is at the forefront of shaping the future of independent music.

Maria Chiara Argiro has been quietly weaving her way around the UK jazz, classical and electronic worlds since she moved to London from Rome 11 years ago. A pianist from the age of nine and a key player in the capital's multi-national jazz scene, she's lent her skills to indie band These New Puritans, lush jazz troupe Kinkajous and, more recently, collaborations with Jamie Leeming - their 2020 album Flow was nominated for one of the albums of the year in the Jazz Revelations Awards and was the Guardian's jazz album of the month - and beat-driven duo Moonfish.

But with her new album, Forest City, she finds a glistening thread between these movements: it marks her out as an exciting rising electronic artist, where jazz meets Kelly Lee Owens, Jon Hopkins and Radiohead. It's a concept record, about the "duality of nature and city", and where organic sounds and textures seem to ow above the urban sprawl.
