Welcome to Joplin Street Music

Founded in Houston , Texas by guitarist Jay Hooks and longtime music industry professional Dennis Chenault . Joplin Street Music is an independent , full service record label built on experience , passion and love for real music. 

After years away from the scene pursuing other ventures, Jay picked up the phone in the summer of 2024 and called his former manager with one goal in mind, recording the new songs he’d written. One project led to another, and soon the idea to launch a label was born.

Joplin Street Music was created to champion original artists and navigate the modern music landscape with confidence—from recording and distribution to branding, sync, and social media. Jay and Dennis jumped back in, head first, ready to build something that puts the music and the artist first.
