Onyx

ONYX set itself up specifically to help musicians express themselves rather than conform to commercial expectations Andrew Clark, London Financial Times

ONYX was started in 2005 by Chris Craker (founder of the Black Box label) and Paul Moseley, for many years a senior executive at Decca. Since August 2006 it is wholly owned and run by Paul Moseley.
