- Record labels coordinate the production, distribution, marketing and promotion of music, as well as enforcing copyright and developing new artists. They sign artists and put them in studios to create albums and singles, which the label then mass produces and distributes while promoting through media.
- The artist in the document would be suited to a major label like Epic Records, which has a variety of genres signed, including pop artists similar to hers. Epic Records was launched in 1953 and has signed artists such as Avril Lavigne, Cher Lloyd, and Sara Bareilles.
- The document creator plans to start their own label called Bubblegum Records, which would specialize in pop but also sign diverse artists, and would produce and distribute
2. After an act is signed by a record label they're put into a studio to
create music, the record label then starts to create copies of the finished
product. They then distribute copies of the album/single and begin to
promote it to the audience. For example the record label organises
interviews for the act on TV, radio, online websites, magazine etc.
A record label:
-coordinates the production, manufacture and distribution of music
-markets and promotes artist/song
-enforces copyright of song and music videos
-conducts talent scouting and development of new artists
-maintains contracts with artists and their managers
3. My artist would be signed to a major label, as she is a pop artist and fairly
mainstream several similar artists are on major labels also.
I think that my artist would be most suited to Epic Records as it has similar
artists signed to it and is an artistic freedom label.
Epic Records is a subsidiary of the conglomerate Sony Music Entertainment.
It was first launched in 1953 by CBS records, it marketed jazz, pop, and
classical music that didn’t fit in with the mainstream Columbia Records. By
the 1960s the label expanded to a variety of genres. Epic Records have
signed artists such as Avril Lavigne, Andre3000, Cher Lloyd, Karmin, Natasha
Bedingfield, Sara Bareilles, The Fray, The Script etc. Presently Epic Records
has a very broad genre based music label.

Copyright is given to the creator of 'original work' it is an exclusive right
of protection. Copyright protection is given to the authors of 'original
works of authorship', including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and
other works. This protection covers both published and unpublished
work. The record label enforces the protection of songs and music videos
.
I can avoid copyright issues by giving full credit to the original artist and
record label. Also by asking permission from the record label if I can use
the song for my own creative purposes. I am not allowed to take full
credit of the song otherwise I would be breaching the copyright law.
I am going to create and add my record label logo onto my digipak and
advert. Also I will include a copyright symbol so it is then protected by
the law.
