In an interview with ERR, Henrik Ehte, the head of the Estonian Funk Embassy, reflects on a decade of the label and music agency's journey in promoting funk and soul music in Estonia. He acknowledges that leading an independent music company for ten years is a significant achievement and speaks to the tenacity required to navigate this challenging landscape. Ehte emphasizes the importance of collective belief among the bands, audiences, and himself in creating a vibrant funk, soul, and disco scene. This collective spirit has led to recognition at various Estonian music awards and appearances on notable radio shows, enhancing the local music scene's visibility.

Ehte describes the preceding era before the Funk Embassy, during which he attempted to create a broader music journalism platform. The transition into establishing an independent label involved navigating various hurdles common in the music industry, such as funding, public interest, and audience reception. Nevertheless, Ehte's determination has driven growth within the Estonian music community, as he recalls both the trials and victories experienced over the last ten years.

Looking towards the future, Ehte projects an ambitious vision for the Funk Embassy, aiming for the prestigious Grammy Awards as well as reaching every nook and cranny of Estonia. This aspiration indicates not only personal goals for the label but also a commitment to empowering local artists and introducing funk and soul music to a wider audience. Ehte's journey is emblematic of the resilience of local music scenes, illustrating how purpose and community can drive success in the arts and entertainment sector.
