Two Feet Creates 477 Records - An Independent Record Label

originally published: 12/19/2023

(NEW YORK, NY) -- The gold certified rock artist Two Feet has announced the opening of the independent record label, 477 Records. The label was created with the goal of discovering, signing and nourishing independent recording artists by harnessing the unique authenticity that appeals to audiences longing for connection and creativity under the guidance only a fellow artist can provide.

477 Records offices and studio are located in Tribeca, New York City. 

Zachary William "Bill" Dess, (born June 21, 1993), is a New York-based artist known by his stage name Two Feet, and is one of the few today who writes, plays, sings, and produces all his own music in his studio. He fuses rock and blues and jazz-tinged licks to create spellbinding sonic atmospherics that deliver raw emotion. After his single "Go Fuck Yourself" became a viral hit on SoundCloud, he signed with Republic Records. In October, 2018, Two Feet released his debut album “A 20 Something Fuck,” which featured the single "I Feel Like I'm Drowning." The single reached number 36 on the US Hot Rock Songs chart, advanced to number one on the US Alternative Songs chart, and is a RIAA gold certified record. In March, 2020, he released his second album “Pink,” and in April 2021, he released his third album “Max Maco Is Dead Right?” In May, 2022, he released his fourth album “Shape & Form.”

Two Feet’s music has been used in dozens of movies, films, and video games, including Resident Evil, Virgin River, Riverdale, Shooter, Who Killed Sarah? Today, Two Feet’s songs have billions of streams across Spotify, YouTube, iTunes, and SoundCloud. He has performed on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, at Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits, Lightning in a Bottle, and SXSW, and headlined two U.S. tours to sell-out audiences. He also tours internationally playing at sold-out shows in Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, France, England, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Columbia.

As one of the few artists of today who still writes, plays, sings and produces all his music in his own studio, Two Feet paired his label announcement with the release of new single, “Kill Anyone” ft Ari Abdul produced by Two Feet via 477 Records.

In addition to releasing Two Feet’s upcoming music, which fuses rock, blues, and jazz-tinged licks to create an original, atmospheric sound, 477 Records will release music from its powerhouse roster of up and coming talent including Toby Mai, Elvis Drew, and Bec Lauder.

“It’s important to nurture artist’s creativity” shares Two Feet. “I started 477 Records with the goal of helping independent artists hone in on their unique voices to create something true they can share with the world. Here at 477, we can help them make their voices heard all over the world by offering the reach and services they would find at a major label.”

Emerging artist Toby Mai is a producer, singer/songwriter and visionary known for blending soulful melodies with a cutting-edge mixture of R&B and electronic while infusing jazz progressions and bass-heavy production that enhance his smooth, sultry tenor voice that has captivated audiences worldwide. Toby’s most recent single “My Eyes” is out now following recent single, “$TONED.” Toby will be touring with Two Feet in the Spring/Summer of 2024. 

After writing his first song at 15, the Ukrainian born and Portugal raised singer/songwriter Elvis Drew now has over 6 million monthly streams on Spotify alone and has charted in 71 countries in a space of one year on Apple Music.

The multitalented musician and performer Bec Lauder has previously collaborated with Two Feet on single “Take Me Home” and continues to amass streams with each release.
