Inside Sun Records with exec Laura Pochodylo

Laura Pochodylo is a music industry professional based in Nashville, Tennessee. She currently works with Sun Records, the historic American label known for launching legendary artists like Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash. She serves as a Marketing Manager for Sun Records, where her work focuses on revitalizing the label's presence, planning catalog releases, and shaping how the company connects with both longtime fans and new audiences. Founded in 1952 in Memphis, Tennessee by producer Sam Phillips, Sun Records is widely regarded as the birthplace of rock and roll. Phillips set out to capture the raw, emotional sound of Southern blues, gospel, and country music, recording artists with a stripped-down, energetic style that became the label's signature. Sun helped launch the careers of legendary artists including Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins, shaping the sound of modern popular music. Today, Sun Records remains an active label while preserving its iconic legacy. The original recording space, now known as Sun Studio, is a historic landmark and major tourist destination in Memphis. Through catalog reissues, vinyl releases, and carefully selected contemporary artists, Sun continues to celebrate its heritage while influencing new generations of musicians inspired by its groundbreaking sound. www.sunrecords.com About Music Matters with Darrell Craig Harris The Music Matters Podcast is hosted by Darrell Craig Harris, a globally published music journalist, professional musician, and Getty Images photographer.
