S1 Media

S1 Media is an American media and music company founded by Micheal Christchurch and is based in Eugene, Oregon, United States. It is the sister label of Second Beat Records

The company was founded with the goal of helping to produce for the film industry and television. They called themselves "A company without any restricted boundaries", suggesting they're willing to take risks to entertain people of all kinds through different media formats of all kinds.

It was first founded as a name for Micheal's releases starting with BLVCK MVGIK, but later expanded into a company after realizing how much potiential the S1 name could have.

There are currently three headquarters located in United States, Canada, and Japan.

The company owns S1/CW Group (joint-venture with Terry Ward), and EVOLVE Music Group.

They also own the streaming service, RED, which acts as their home for all their works. They also have a production company named RED Media, which was founded for creating content for the service as well as others like Netflix, Hulu, etc.
