The label was established by Mark Hodges, a Floyd County, Virginia native. He opened the Something To Do Video store, which he turned into a successful chain of stores. As a hobby, he began to record his musician friends when they would visit, and he turned this hobby into a stand-alone 72-track recording studio, and then the record label.[2]
