“WHAT IS RECORD LABEL”

Record labels are businesses that sign, develop, and promote musical artists. They invest money in the artist's career in exchange for a percentage of the artist's royalties. Record labels typically provide resources like recording studios, producers, and promotion for the artist. In return, they usually take a percentage of the artist's income from album sales, streaming, and other sources.There are three main types: major labels, independent labels, and vanity labels. Major labels are the largest and most well-known record labels, like Sony Music, Universal Music Group, and Warner Music Group. Independent labels are smaller and often more niche-focused, like Sub Pop and Merge Records. Vanity labels are created by a musician or manager and often only sign that musician's work.
