The next generation of Jewish music starts here.
Kosher Style Records is an independent label producing bold, soulful, unapologetically Jewish music, from debut singles to full albums, from songleaders to cantors to touring artists.
A decade of amplifying Jewish voices.
Kosher Style Records was founded in 2016 with one mission: develop the next generation of contemporary Jewish music. Ten years and dozens of artists, songs, and albums later, that mission is louder than ever.
Our catalog spans touring singer/songwriters, cantors, and songleaders. These artists walked in with a melody and walked out with a record. Kosher Style artists don’t just make albums here. They find their sound, sharpen their craft, and join a community of musicians who show up for each other.
The label is led by founder and producer Cantor Josh Goldberg, an ordained cantor, award-winning producer, and working music director who lives at the intersection of the studio and the sanctuary. Now based in Music City itself, Nashville, Tennessee, Kosher Style Records produces artists across the country and around the world.
Your song deserves more than a demo. Let’s make a record.
One thing. Done right.
Kosher Style Records does music production, and only music production. No upsells, no packages you don’t need. Just your song, produced at the highest level.
Production, start to finish:
- Song development: arrangement, orchestration, and songwriting refinement before you ever hit record
- Recording: in person in Nashville or remotely from anywhere in the world
- Vocal production: performance coaching, Hebrew pronunciation, editing, and tuning
- World-class musicians: hired and directed for your project
- Mixing & mastering: until you’re 100% satisfied
- Virtual choir & ensemble videos: for synagogues, schools, and communities
Whether it’s a single, an EP, a full album, or a High Holy Day project for your congregation. We take it from idea to release-ready.

FAQ
This is my first recording. What should I know before I start?
A lot goes into making a record: writing the songs, booking a studio, hiring musicians, editing, mixing, mastering. It’s a lot, and it’s exactly what a producer is for. With Kosher Style Records, all you have to do is bring the songs (and we can help with those too). We handle the rest.
How much does it cost to produce a song, album, or virtual choir video?
Every project is different, so pricing is too. Reach out for a free consultation and we’ll build you a detailed proposal with all costs up front, with no surprises.
How many songs should I record?
That’s up to you and your goals. A single gets you out there fast. An EP (3–5 songs) makes a statement. An album (7–14 songs) is a body of work. Not sure? That’s what the consultation is for.
Do I have to record in Nashville?
Nope. Kosher Style Records is based in Nashville. Music City is home to some of the best studios and session players in the world, and recording here in person is a great experience. But modern technology means you can record wherever you are. We can connect you with an engineer in nearly any city, or produce your vocals remotely if you have a home setup.
I have a laptop and GarageBand. Why do I need a producer?
A producer does a lot more than press record. We polish your song before tracking, build the arrangement, coach your best vocal performance (Hebrew pronunciation included), bring in world-class players, keep the project on schedule and on budget, and edit, tune, mix, and master until it’s right. GarageBand can capture a song. A producer makes a record.
Do you only produce Jewish music? What is Jewish music, anyway?
Jewish music is our passion and our specialty. We think of it as any music inspired by Jewish texts, ideas, culture, or ritual. But we produce all kinds of music. Whether you’re a Jewish musician, a musician who happens to be Jewish, or neither: if you’ve got a song, we’re here for it. Music is a universal language.
Behind the board.
Cantor Josh Goldberg: Founder & Producer
Josh Goldberg has spent his career moving between the studio and the sanctuary, bringing each one’s magic into the other.
An ordained cantor with a Master of Music in Jewish Sacred Music, Josh serves as Cantor & Music Director of Congregation Micah in Nashville, where he’s produced everything from Broadway- and country-themed Shabbat services to a High Holy Day broadcast that reached an estimated 500,000 viewers across North America. His work has earned national recognition, including a DeRose–Hinkhouse Award of Merit for “Music City USA Shabbat” and a Jewish Film Category win at the Accolade Global Film Competition for his visual album Morning, A Journey.
Before Nashville, Josh built his production chops in Los Angeles, releasing his own debut album, producing records for cantors, songleaders, and touring artists, and founding Kosher Style Records to give Jewish musicians the professional home their music deserves. He’s a graduate of USC’s Thornton School of Music and the author of a 100+ page study on the evolution of recorded worship music in Judaism and Christianity.
When you work with Kosher Style, you’re not handed off to a team. You work directly with Josh: one artist and one producer, making your record together.
