Independent since day one

Music.Culture.Legacy.

Hoodelite Records is an independent label committed to records that outlast the moment.

The roster

A small circle.
One record at a time.

Hoodelite Records keeps the circle small on purpose — the sound stays fully owned in-house, from the first voice note to the final master.

Artist & Writerhoodboyvictor

hoodboyvictor

Victor Chigozie Kalu, known professionally as hoodboyvictor, makes records that take their time. Melodic, patient and built around a voice that sits close to the mic, his catalogue trades urgency for atmosphere — songs that reveal a little more on the fifth listen than the first. He is the first artist signed to Hoodelite Records and the through-line of everything the label puts out. Bad 4 U introduced the sound; Velvet refined it. Songwriting credits appear under his legal name. Artist and writer at Hoodelite Records (H.E.R), he also serves as CEO of HoodElite Records Limited — steering the label's direction while writing and performing its records.
