own label / independent label ?
Explanation:
It sure sounds like you're on the right track (pun intended) with "recorded independently".
His 'own label' or 'independent label' (often abbreviated to 'indie label' in the industry) might be alternatives.

Over the last few years this column has concentrated on issues related to promoting and marketing your career as an independent musician. The most important thing an artist can do to get the attention of the recording industry is to start your own label, and build a reputation for your music by showing the industry how popular your music is, i.e. how many people bought your record.
