Red Bedroom Records is the record label founded by Peyton Sawyer at the beginning of season five. Headquartered in the same building as the nightclub TRIC, the company was started with financial backing from Peyton's best friend, Brooke Davis, who encouraged her to create her own music label after moving back to Tree Hill, North Carolina. Over the course of the next two seasons, Peyton laid the groundwork for Red Bedroom to become a prominent fixture in Tree Hill's music scene.
After Peyton's departure from Tree Hill in the seventh season, she transferred managing control and partial ownership of Red Bedroom Records to her close friend and sister-in-law, Haley James Scott, who was already signed on as one of the company's music artists. During that season, Miranda Stone was sent by parent company Sire Records to assist with managing the label, though it was soon revealed she had actually been sent to shut down its North Carolina-based subsidiary. When Haley and fellow artist Mia Catalano threatened to quit if Sire went through with its plan, however, Red Bedroom was allowed to continue operating.
Over the next three seasons, Red Bedroom Records continued to expand its musical roster, signing such acts as Grubbs, Erin Macree, and Alex Dupre. In the ninth and final season, with Haley dealing with personal crises related to her husband's kidnapping, Chris Keller came back to Tree Hill to assist her in managing the record label. Once things returned to normal in the series finale, he remained as a producer and was signed as Red Bedroom's newest music artist.
