History

Above Ordinary Music Group is a prominent Korean hip-hop and R&B record label originating from the "Art of Movement," a Seattle-based B-Boying group which Jay Park joined in 2003, featuring members such as Dial Tone, Junior, and Cha Cha Malone.
Jay Park founded AOMG in late September 2013, and initially signed composer Jun Goon, singer and producer Gray, and Seattle affiliate Cha Cha Malone, who was a producer and dancer with Jay Park's dance crew Art of Movement. The label had its launch party on October 10, 2013, at "The A" in Seoul with Ben Baller as the host. The same month, the label released its first album, Gray's mini-album, Call Me Gray.
Artists Elo, Loco, Ugly Duck, DJ Wegun, DJ Pumkin, and Hoody joined AOMG over the next two years.
In March 2014, Simon Dominic announced that he had joined AOMG as co-CEO several months after his departure from his former label Amoeba Culture.
In January 2016, South Korean media company CJ E&M announced that it had formed a strategic partnership with AOMG. CJ E&M said in a statement that it would "support" AOMG with distribution and marketing, while AOMG would continue to control its music.
In July 2018, Simon Dominic announced his resignation from his position as co-CEO with his song "Me No Jay Park". It was later clarified by AOMG that Dominic would remain as an artist on the label.
In August 2019, AOMG’s first hip-hop audition show Signhere began airing on MBN, marking the first ever hip-hop and R&B record label to have their own audition program on broadcast television. The show lasted 10 episodes, with singer-songwriter Sogumm winning the audition and subsequently joining AOMG as an official label member.
After months of widely reported rumors and speculation, former YG Entertainment soloist Lee Hi announced that she had signed with AOMG in July 2020. Soon after, she released her first single under the label, titled 'Holo'. The song debuted #1 on various charts in South Korea., Simon Dominic, Gray, Loco - 2014 United States Tour - 2014 United States Tour
