About the Rude Records Team:
Ilich Rausa began to be curious about the Music Industry during his early University years and his career was launched thanks to a position with one of the largest indoor venues in Milan, Italy. During this period, he learned about band and audience development, promotional and marketing strategies. He founded Rude Records with a friend, a sound engineer, at the end of 2000 and from that moment on, moved particularly by the passion of its founders, Rude Records started to take its first steps with the production and distribution of young alternative bands. Ilich focuses on label strategy and development and works with the team on the development of new partnerships, growth plans, and budgeting. Ilich also oversees operations, contracts, and human resources. Rude started representing some Labels from the US in Europe from 2004 and eventually started to sign international bands for EU, UK and North America. Rude Records counts now over 200 releases and has collaborators all over the world and works closely with bands from the US, UK, Australia. In 2020 Rude Records has signed a Publishing deal with The Orchard \ Sony ATV and renewed a global distribution deal with The Orchard \ Sony Music.
Federico Croci‘s deep passion for music started when he first learned how to play an instrument. This led to discovering old classics hidden in his father’s vinyl collection and writing reviews and interviews for a music webzine. Federico is continually eager to know and discover new music, new artists, across all genres.
After graduating from University in Media Languages, he obtained a Master’s Degree in Music Industry. He joined Rude Records as PR and Marketing intern in 2011, actively participating in the Label’s development and strategic growth through the years.
Ten years after making the first steps in the music industry he’s now Rude’s General Manager and A&R, responsible for scouting new talents and assisting them throughout the whole creative process.
