Hot Tramp Launches Label, and Announces Jannette King Release
It's a good day in Montreal when not one but two of your favourite music scene creatives announce new projects. Hot Tramp debuts as a record label alongside the announcement of Janette King's latest single 'Mars.' Stay tuned for an interview with Janette for her release on August 21st.
In the meantime, the label, run by Sarah Armiento in Montreal, is focused on raising the stage for womxn artists. So far, three artists have been set to release albums through the label in 2021: Janette King, Maryze, and Alicia Clara. Partnered with Outside Music as a worldwide distributor and The Diving Bell Social Club as its home venue, Hot Tramp is poised to make 2021 a breakout year for its artists.

If you don't know her already, Armiento launched Hot Tramp in 2019 as an artist management company with Maryze and Janette King on the roster. Hot Tramp soon expanded into show promotion, tour booking, and PR, working with over 20 artists in the first year. The inaugural and iconic Hot Tramp Fest was the year's highlight, showcasing 25+ womxn artists across five days. They received festival support from Grolsch, Vans, MOOG, and more.
Regarding the switch over to a label, Armiento explains, "I'm launching Hot Tramp as a label because I think it's a necessary pandemic-adjusted pivot from my former format of a management company and show promotion. Secondly, I think that the industry needs more womxn-run labels to create safer spaces for artists, especially in the wake of all these industry call-outs.
There seems to be a cleanse happening in the industry right now that is dusting off some old cobwebs and clearing up space for newcomers like Hot Tramp." Launching the label alongside Janette King's latest single 'Mars' is the perfect start to making this year in music the Trampiest one yet, and we can't wait to see what Hot Tramp does next.
