History

Today Is Vintage was founded by Swedish artist Rebstar in 2012 to serve as a platform for creative minds with international potential.[6]

In late 2012, American-Hungarian Kállay Saunders became the first artist to sign to the label[7] with his first single My Baby peaking #1 on the Hungarian Top 40 chart.[8]. Following up with international success, My Baby was a top contender for Hungary in the Eurovision Song Contest 2013, ending up as the runner-up in the Hungarian qualifiers.

In mid 2014 it was announced that Gambian recording artist Saint has signed to the label.[9][10]

On December 18 2016, Rebstar revealed LE SINNER as the latest signee to Today Is Vintage. On January 13, they released LE SINNER's debut single "Paris".[11] Within 2 weeks of its release "Paris", peaked #1 on Spotify's Viral Charts in USA.[12]

Today Is Vintage is also known for arranging concerts and events in Sweden under the brand Le Fest.[13]
