About the brand ❤️
DTA Records is an American independent music label launched in 2019 by drummer Travis Barker of Blink‑182 fame with a strategic joint venture through Elektra Entertainment / Warner Music Group to handle distribution and industry support. The name stands for “Don’t Trust Anyone,” reflecting a rebellious ethos aligned with pop‑punk, rock and hip‑hop culture. The label’s first release was the collaborative single “Gimme Brain” the day of its launch, featuring Barker with Lil Wayne and Rick Ross. Since then, DTA has signed and developed artists such as Jaden Hossler (jxdn) and facilitated high‑profile releases, including Avril Lavigne’s Love Sux, which marked DTA’s first top‑10 album on the Billboard 200 chart. Operating within the modern music industry’s evolving landscape, DTA blends Barker’s creative leadership with major‑label infrastructure, focusing on artist development and genre‑crossing projects that merge punk‑era sensibilities with contemporary trends.
