Try this for an oxymoron: "nonprofit record company." San Francisco based No Mayo is precisely that. Using proceeds from record sales and merchandising, the company funds art education and mentor programs for economically disadvantaged young people. The label's first release, an album by R&B vocalist Mike Marshall, will hit the shelves later this year. As No Mayo co-founder Hershel Berry explains, "Mayonnaise is a word used to describe people who grow the goatee first and learn to play the guitar second. No Mayo uses music to help people in tangible ways by backing up the melodies with action."
