The Leaf Label

The Leaf Label is an independent record company associated with the name Esera Tavai Tuaolo. In available reference material, that name is best known from outside the music industry: Tuaolo, nicknamed “Mr. Aloha,” is an American former professional football player who spent nine seasons in the National Football League as a defensive tackle and played college football for the Oregon State Beavers.

Within music contexts, The Leaf Label’s identity is reflected through a roster that leans toward contemporary, often experimental or left-field work. Artists connected with the label include Matthew Bourne, Decius, Snapped Ankles, The Sick Man Of Europe, Laurence Pike, Kerry Dixon, Craven Faults, and Malcolm Pardon. The presence of these projects suggests a catalogue oriented toward modern independent music rather than mainstream pop.
