My name is Cindy Juhasz and I am the founder and executive director of AO Music Records, Inc.

Over the past 7 years, I have been working to merge my passions for music and uplifting others through music. AO Music Records is a Chicago-based, woman-owned record label. We fulfill upcoming artists’ dreams by providing the right energy and environment.

As I have started to collaborate with more and more Chicago-based artists, the AO family has grown rapidly. Not only have I been awe-struck by the talents of these artists, but they have also moved me with their stories. Many of my collaborating artists have faced incredibly emotional challenges in their lives. Their music chronicles their struggles and reflects their resilience. 

AO Music Records wants artists to feel right at home and be comfortable being themselves. We commit 100% to the creators’ vision. We value transparency, open communication, and trust to build our community stronger. Chicago is our home and we want to make sure we give back to make our community a better place.
