Introducing a developing music label within the creative world of Artists & Influencers. A place to start a conversation about your music, your story and what comes next.
Inspired by the animal kingdom, the label takes its name from Taquka, a grizzly bear Jordan Carlton Schaul helped care for in Alaska.

Bears belong in nature, except when managed care supports animals in need or when conservation breeding helps ensure species survival.
Jordan’s experience caring for Taquka and Shaguyik connects the label’s name to his work in wildlife conservation. He brings that history and a career in media strategy to the development of Taquka Records.
“The illustrations of bears depicted above are for the imagination and are generated solely in the context of recognizing diversity and individuality, which is profoundly apparent in the music business. Singers and songwriters flourish because of what makes them different.
I’ve had the great privilege of spending time in proximity to all eight bear species and observing several in nature. Whether in managed care or in the wild, bears are found to be remarkably distinct in their personalities and behavioral presentations. They are all sentient, intelligent, and deeply curious, and each is one of a kind.”
A distinctive sound begins with a distinctive artist. Taquka Records is taking shape around that idea: original voices, thoughtful presentation and the connection between music and the people who hear it.
As the label develops, we welcome introductions from recording artists, songwriters, producers and potential creative partners. Tell us what you are creating and where you want to take it.
