All Star Records
An American record label founded around Don Omar and associated with the Orfanato Music Group name.
Last updated August 25, 2026
Overview
All Star Records is an American record label associated with Puerto Rican reggaeton artist Don Omar. The label emerged after the success of Omar's debut album, The Last Don, when he was granted his own imprint. Reference material describes the label as having operated since 2004 and later identifies it as Orfanato Music Group, reflecting the label's development from a vehicle centered on Omar into a broader platform for artists and producers connected to the Latin urban music scene. Don Omar has remained the label's central artist and principal creative identity. The label's most visible releases include Los Bandoleros, issued in 2005, as well as later Don Omar projects such as King of Kings, Los Bandoleros Reloaded, King of Kings: Armageddon Edition, and All Star Records Presenta: Don Omar - All Star Hits. These releases place the imprint within the expansion of reggaeton and Latin urban music during the 2000s, when artist-led labels and compilation projects were important mechanisms for developing new performers, producers, and collaborations. The label's associated roster has included Rell, Glory, Marcy Place, Cynthia Antigua, Chino & Nacho, Farruko, and Kendo Kaponi. The supplied reference also associates the imprint with producers Danny Fornaris, Lex, Robbin, A&X, and Link On. Some of these relationships are described as being conducted with Orfanato Music Group, so the available material does not establish that every named artist was signed directly to the All Star Records legal entity rather than affiliated with its later or alternate label identity. All Star Records has operated as a subsidiary of, and been distributed through, Machete Records, a Latin music label associated with Universal Music Group. This distribution relationship gave the imprint access to the infrastructure of a major music group while preserving Don Omar's artist-led identity. The available sources do not provide a current corporate status, a definitive headquarters, a standalone website, financial information, or a complete account of the label's present roster. Accordingly, its current activity level and precise corporate structure should be treated as uncertain.
History
All Star Records developed as an imprint connected to Don Omar after the commercial and artistic impact of his debut album, The Last Don. According to the available reference, Omar was granted his own label after that debut, and the imprint was operating by 2004. Its initial purpose was closely tied to Omar's own recording career, but it also provided a platform for artists and producers associated with the emerging Latin urban and reggaeton ecosystem. The label's early identity was therefore both entrepreneurial and artist-centered. Rather than functioning only as a conventional corporate catalog, it served as a home for Omar's releases and as a network for collaborators. Its documented associated artists include Rell, Glory, Marcy Place, Cynthia Antigua, Chino & Nacho, Farruko, and Kendo Kaponi. The available material also names Danny Fornaris, Lex, Robbin, A&X, and Link On among its associated producers. Because the source sometimes describes these relationships as being with Orfanato Music Group, the precise contractual status of each artist or producer is not clear. The label's most visible period was during the 2000s expansion of reggaeton into international Latin music markets. Don Omar's Los Bandoleros, released in 2005, became a defining release associated with the imprint. Further catalog titles connected to All Star Records or its Orfanato Music Group identity include King of Kings, Los Bandoleros Reloaded, King of Kings: Armageddon Edition, All Star Records Presenta: Don Omar - All Star Hits, and Marcy Place's B From Marcy Place. These releases show a mixture of solo albums, expanded editions, compilation-style projects, and artist development. The reference material describes All Star Records as having become Orfanato Music Group and as operating as a subsidiary of, and being distributed through, Machete Records. Machete Records was associated with Universal Music Group, giving the imprint access to major-label distribution while retaining a distinct Don Omar-centered brand. This arrangement placed the label within a wider corporate music infrastructure without eliminating its role as a platform for Latin urban talent. The available sources do not establish a precise incorporation date, standalone headquarters, complete ownership documentation, current roster, or current operating status. They also do not provide reliable financial figures or a standalone official website. As a result, the label's documented history is strongest for its formation around Don Omar, its 2000s catalog, its associated artist network, and its relationship with Machete Records and Universal Music Group.
