Atlanta Artists was a sub-label of Mercury Records founded by Larry Blackmon of the group Cameo.

After Cameo's seventh album, Knights of the Sound Table (1981), Blackmon reduced the group from ten members to a five-member unit. This change was made due to the economics of the music industry at that time. Blackmon relocated the group from New York to Atlanta, Georgia.

With their core of five members, they released the album Alligator Woman, 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. This release continued their new musical direction by adding electronic drums to their production. This new sound was a blueprint for their following albums.

The funk group Ca$hflow and solo artist Barbara Mitchell (formerly in the female group High Inergy) signed and released for the label, along with teenage solo artist Jilliann (singer), while Blackmon produced also artists on other labels:

• Tomi Jenkins - 1989 / Elektra
• Bobby Brown - 1986 / MCA
• The Reddings - 1985 / Polydor
• George Howard - 1990 / GRP

During Cameo's popular concert tours in the UK around the mid-1980s, Ca$hflow traveled along with them as a supporting act.

In 1991, after Cameo's move to Reprise, Atlanta Artists was absorbed into Mercury Records.
