The DNA of the company was born from The Gin Factory Studios, Farringdon – an 8500 sq ft commercial recording studio complex built and owned by Kate Young which housed the original company and state of the art music studios of which she later sold to Sony Music in 2019 due to the expansion of RKM.

A wide range of global A-list music talent recorded commercial records and albums including; Stormzy, Chance The Rapper, Dua Lipa, Idris Elba, One Direction, Anne-Marie, Kylie Minogue, London Grammar, Paloma Faith, MNEK, Sampha and Oscar-winning songwriter Jimmy Napes, to name a few. It was this environment and Young’s creative expertise along with an extensive talent network that enabled RKM to form such unrivalled direct access to talent – particularly within the music industry, leading to other areas of talent within in sport and entertainment.
