Our Story: A Legacy of Faith
In 1979, twin brothers Estus and Lester Patterson shaped Kon-Kord Records from a shared belief in music's power to unite, uplift, and inspire. From their earliest days in Los Angeles, their dedication to creating exceptional, soul-stirring sounds was matched only by a deep faith and love for community. Guided by these values, Kon-Kord Records quickly earned a reputation for producing R&B, Blues, Gospel, and Jazz music that speaks to the heart and spirit.
Rooted in family and tradition, the Patterson brothers infused every project with a standard of excellence and a promise to their listeners: genuine music satisfaction in the name of Jesus. Over four decades, the label grew beyond Palmdale, reaching fans and artists worldwide, but its devotion to handcrafted quality and customer care never wavered. The company's iconic red heart logo stands as a sign of the passion poured into every album, every session, and every relationship nurtured over the years.
Today, Kon-Kord Records remains family-owned and faith-driven, blending heritage with innovation. The label continues to serve a diverse global community, offering unique musical treasures not found in ordinary stores. With each note, the legacy of faith, family, and musical excellence endures - inviting you to discover a catalog built on craftsmanship and spiritual purpose.
