Started in 2000 as Enjoy Records, Everloving has had many successes to date starting with Jack Johnson’s debut record Brushfire Fairytales in 2001. Co-founders Andy Factor and JP Plunier had worked together as A&R and manager/producer respectively for Ben Harper in the 1990′s. After Factor was fired from Virgin Records he and Plunier teamed up to put out Jack Johnson’s debut album in 2001. Johnson had written for and played on G. Love’s 1999 album Philadelphonic, but had yet to gain any notoriety on his own. The two decided to give him a chance and signed him as the first artist on Enjoy Records. Brushfire Fairytales featured Harper on several tracks.
As Brushfire Fairytales became more and more popular the long since defunct NY label Enjoy Records decided to reclaim the name and thus the name Everloving was born.
The year after Brushfire Fairytales was released, Everloving scored another hit with Mad World from the film Donnie Darko Soundtrack by Michael Andrews. Originally a Tears For Fears song Andrews did his own arrangement of the song and got childhood friend Gary Jules to sing the lead vocals. A surprise hit Mad World went to #1 in the UK in late 2003, nearly two years after the film had come out. Acheiving more pop success than the original version.
Everloving has followed these early successes by continuing to do what has worked for them; sign indie artists they believe in and put out soundtracks for promising indie films. They have continued to experience success with artist such as Inara George, Metric, Cornelius, Chris Darrow and Herman Dune and soundtracks such as Dogtown and Z-Boys and Me, You and Everyone We Know.
“Whether [the albums] chart or not, it’s all good. We made them. We’re here making money somehow. [The artists] are making money somehow. And everybody has got the opportunity to create. That’s the reward and the privilege.” -Andy Factor from LA Weekly’s Column The Side Man 11.9.2006
