Aware Records

Aware Records is an American record label based in Evanston, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. Some of the label's acts have included John Mayer, Train, Five for Fighting, Mat Kearney, and Guster.

History
Aware Records was founded in 1993 by Gregg Latterman with the simple intention to find unsigned acts and increase their national exposure through a compilation album. In the fall of 1995, the label formed the inaugural Aware Tour. The first tour led to national tours from 1996 to 1999. In July 1997, Aware entered into an agreement with Columbia Records providing the major label with grassroots artist development, and Aware access to national marketing and distribution. In 2000 Aware Records started an Internet radio station through CJ Hebb (AOL Radio) and his company New England Digital Arts. The agreement was that the radio broadcasts would focus on record label artists and royalties would be paid to ASCAP, BMI and SESAC. ==A-Squared Management==
