About

German label. Label Code: LC 7472 / LC 07472. Coconut label was set up in 1981 by the creative team of Karin Hartmann and Tony Hendrik, who discovered and produced recording artists such as Wolfgang Petry, Andreas Martin (2), Bad Boys Blue and Haddaway. After two decades of successful cooperation, the dream duo decided to split up and go their separate ways. In early 2007 they sold Coconut to a group of private investors who reorganised and renamed the company Coconut Music. On official site label's name also mentioned as 'Coconut Music Production'. Karin Hartmann stayed with the company. As a member of the management, and as the contact person for recording artists and producers, she continues to provide the firm with her many years of experience in the music business. Jörg Hustadt and Gerhard Saidowsky are now the managing directors on the commercial side.
