AOMG is an independent South Korean record label led by Jay Park and Simon D. AOMG is an acronym that stands for the "Above Ordinary Music Group."[1]
History
Jay Park founded AOMG in late September 2013. He had initially signed producer Jun Goon(전군), artist and producer Gray, and Cha Cha Malone, a producer and a dancer with Jay Park's dance crew "AOM." Artists Elo and Loco joined soon after.[2] On October 10 Jay Park held a launching party at "The A" in Seoul with Ben Baller as host.[3] In late October the label debuted its first artist, Gray, with the mini-album "Call Me Gray."[4] Simon D announced he had joined the label as a co-CEO several months after his departure from former label Amoeba Culture, on March 10, 2014. This was branded as the "RE:BiRTH" of the organization.[5]
