Existing record label company research

Columbia

  • Columbia is an American record label owned by Sony Music entertainment. It was founded in 1887 (establish for 130 years)
  • Musicians that have worked with this record label are: Adele, Beyonce, John Mayer, Pink Floyd, etc. From the artists mentioned it can be seen that this record label holds a large number of musicians from different genres. 
  • Columbia is the oldest surviving brand name in the recorded sound business, being the second major company to product recorded records, hence why it has such a variety of big name stars under its label. 







Warner Bros. Records

  • Warner brothers is most well known for it successful production of films, such as, inception and Fantastic beasts. However, Warner brothers holds it own record label.
  • The record label was established in 1958 and it was the foundation label of the present-day Warner Music Group.
  • Again like columbia multiple different musicians from different genres of music have worked with the label. However, it has worked with infamous rock/metal bands, such as, The Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Metallica and Avenged Sevenfold. As this label has worked with more alternative bands i would suggest that this label has a even broader range of artists styles and genres than columbia does. 






For My Own Artist


  • The tone of my artists voice and style of music would suggest they would be best suited to a record label that has a number of not only indie artists, but popular artists also. This is due to the fact that the artist i'm using could use a big name record label to push forward there indie style of music. Therefore, from researching record labels I believe that my artist would achieve best if they were to work with columbia records as they work with people like John Mayer who doesn't necessarily with mainstream music, but he has become successful with his own style of music.
