Young Millenium Records is the name and their passion is to uplift and promote young artists and mold them for the music industry. Their first artist, a 17 year old who is working with Zaytoven - a major producer of Migos, Future, Lil Uzi Vert, 21 Savage, Travis Scott, etc and a bunch of other people.

Keith Sweat says, “I've known Lena for a number of years and always admired her work ethic and attention to detail. When the opportunity presented itself to collaborate on this record label I knew it would be a successful venture. I think one of the key elements to my success is that I've always reinvented myself while remaining true to my core. Launching YMR gives me the opportunity to do this and help guide the careers of some very young and talented artists. We've been very fortunate to sign a very talented and diverse group of artists. The energy, enthusiasm and level of professionalism that they bring to every project is inspiring. They are really on the cutting edge of what's happening in music today.”
