Founded in 1996 as a part-time endeavor by Joel Simpson, Randomosity Records evolved from his post-graduation Music Business degree at Elmhurst University. With previous stints at Sony/Columbia Records and Peterson Electro-Musical Products, Joel’s accumulated industry experience prompted him to elevate the venture.
In 2016, the company expanded with the addition of Jennifer Ashley as a partner. Together, they inaugurated a Downers Grove studio in 2016, offering clients a central hub for music instruction and comprehensive recording/production services. Jennifer’s valuable contributions, spanning business, law, and artistic graphic design, enriched the company’s capabilities.
Randomosity Records ventured into label releases in 2017. In February 2019, the label released “Off To Here Land,” an album by Ashley & Simpson, which promptly secured the #7 spot on the Folk DJ Charts. Since then, Randomosity Records has amassed over 20 releases under its label.
Joel and Jennifer presently lead Randomosity Records, overseeing Joel Mathew Simpson publishing (ASCAP) and managing a commercial office space in Downers Grove. This multifaceted space caters to audio and video production, music instruction, and business consulting.
