Atlanta Artists is a sub-label of Polygram Records , found by Larry Blackmon from the group Cameo. After Cameo's album , Knights of the Sound Table from 1981 , Larry took the decision to pace down the group from 10 members to a 5-member unit. This change of strategy was made as a result of the economical situation within the music industry at that time. Larry's chosen direction had Cameo locate for a new area , and moved from New York to Atlanta, Georgia.


With their core of 5 members, they recorded the album Alligator Woman which is a fusion of funk, new wave and a synthesizer-driven sound , compared to their previous albums which had more horn-arrangements. The album Style followed in 1983 as the first release for Atlanta Artists. They continued their new-headed direction in recording and added electronic drums to their productions. This new created sound was a blue-print for their following albums.


Ca$hflow and Barbara Mitchell ( formely in the group High Inergy ) signed and released for the label , while Larry produced more artists on other labels :


During Cameo's popular concert-tours in the UK around the mid 80's, Ca$hflow traveled along with them as support-act. Polygram ended to distribute Atlanta Artists-releases around 1991 , with the last few productions as a combination with Mercury Records.
