Working with the incredible team at Reason II Rise Music has been an unforgettable journey, filled with creativity, passion, and unforgettable moments. The talent and dedication of everyone involved have truly inspired me every day.

Unfortunately, due to increasing work and family commitments, I must step down from my role. This decision was not made lightly, as being part of the birth and growth of this amazing label has been a profound honor and privilege.

I am immensely proud of all we have achieved together and excited to see the heights Reason II Rise Music will reach in the future. I have no doubt that the label will continue to flourish, breaking new ground and creating music that resonates deeply with audiences.

Thank you to everyone at Reason II Rise Music for making this experience so extraordinary. I look forward to cheering you on and witnessing the label’s continued success and evolution. The best is yet to come!

Official Statement from the Reason II Rise team

It is with a heavy heart that we announce Tim (aka Sonar Zone) has decided to step down from his role at Reason II Rise due to personal commitments that take precedence.

We want to extend our deepest gratitude to Tim, who has been with us since the very beginning in 2020. Tim has witnessed the trials and tribulations, the changes and growth of our record label. He has stood by us through the good and the bad, the ups and downs, the periods of growth and the slowdowns—through everything.

From the entire team at R2R, we want to say thank you for everything, Tim. You’ve been instrumental in shaping R2R into what it is today. We will always support your endeavors, and we are always rooting for you!

With heartfelt thanks,

The Reason II Rise Team ❤️
