Cleopatra Records is an independent record label based in Los Angeles, California USA and headquartered in Austin, Texa USA. Founded in 1992 by entrepreneur and music visionary Brian Perera, the label has become synonymous with innovation and fearless creativity.

A cornerstone of Cleopatra’s success is Perera’s strategy of acquiring and revitalizing artist back catalogs. Icons like Todd Rundgren, Melanie, William Shatner, Judy Collins and Ministry have benefited from Cleopatra’s careful curation of significant portions of their past output. Goldmine magazine hailed Cleopatra’s reissue campaign of Melanie’s archive as “one of the most significant of recent years.”

​

Cleopatra’s mainstream success includes William Shatner charting on Billboard and Grammy nominations for John Lithgow, Kenny Neal, and Judy Collins.

​

If one factor encapsulates Cleopatra’s legacy, it is Brian Perera’s relentless vision. By remaining true to its mission of spotlighting deserving artists and forgotten gems, Cleopatra bridges past and present, merging underground and mainstream. As Perera explains:

“Breaking down barriers between genres, generations, and global music cultures is our mission. By championing a diverse array of artists, Cleopatra creates a melting pot of artistic expression, challenging boundaries and reshaping the music industry’s landscape.”
