our story
Most artists struggle mentally, emotionally and/or physically because they do not have the resources, finances, patience or proper access to support systems that can guide them.
Happy Jack Records is the first record label of its kind with a focus on breaking and developing artists who suffer with mental health issues. Happy Jack Records Inc. will be a label that puts the artist, their talent and their overall wellness at the forefront. Both the name and company “Happy Jack” were created by Jack Nathan, the beloved late son of co-founder, David Nathan. Jack started “Happy Jack” to represent a safe haven for kids who struggle with all types of mental illness. Jack left us suddenly on July 3, 2020, at only 19 years old.
Happy Jack Records is being created to honor Jack’s legacy and help fulfill what he started.
Happy Jack Records is the first record label of its kind with a focus on breaking and developing artists who suffer with mental health issues.
With a 365 degree approach to artist stewardship, Happy Jack will reframe the industry - changing both the perspective and the narrative of mental health.

Our Mission
Our mission is to create a better opportunity and creative space to promote and support both new and established artists as well as the foundations/charities they fight for. As a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit company, we will focus on three main things:
1
Breaking talent in the arts & entertainment industries
2
Improving their mental
health mindset
3
Giving back to the communities and foundations that each artist supports
The monies that we raise will fund 100% of each artist’s development costs (ie: production, recording, coaching, cost of living, marketing & promotion, etc). This will eliminate the usual stresses that artists go through while launching and building their careers, allowing them to focus solely on their creative and improving their wellbeing.
The goal is to embrace and take each artist through our program, develop and break them worldwide while having successful long lasting careers.
