3. Universal Music’s subsidiary
record labels
Blue Note Records is an American jazz record label established in 1939 by Alfred Lion and Max Margulis. Francis Wolff became involved
shortly afterwards. It derives its name from the characteristic "blue notes" of jazz and the blues.
Originally dedicated to recording traditional jazz and small group swing, from 1947 the label began to switch its attention to modern jazz.
While the original company did not itself record many of the pioneers of bebop, significant exceptions are Thelonious Monk, Fats Navarro
and Bud Powell.
Historically, Blue Note has principally been associated with the "hard bop" style of jazz (mixing bebop with other forms of music including
soul, blues, rhythm and blues and gospel). Horace Silver, Jimmy Smith, Freddie Hubbard, Lee Morgan, Art Blakey, Lou Donaldson, Donald
Byrd, Grant Green, Hank Mobley and Freddie Redd were among the label's leading artists.
The label is currently owned by the Universal Music Group and in 2006 was expanded to fill the role of an umbrella label group bringing
together a wide variety of then EMI-owned labels and imprints specializing in the growing market segment of music for adults.

4. These types of music artists would
be aimed at people who should be
about 25-50 for both men and
women. The reason for this would be
because that Blues is a very old genre
of music and would be something
not many young people would
understand.

5. A&M Octane Records
A&M Octane Records, stylized A&M/Octone Records is an American
record label, which operates as one third of the Interscope-GeffenA&M label group. It is a joint venture between Universal Music
Group and Octone Records, also known as OctoScope Music. The
label represents a merger of Interscope-Geffen-A&M's A&M Records
label with Octone Records.
A full-service artist development label, A&M/Octone operates music
publishing, merchandising and touring entities – in addition to
specializing in recorded music.

7. This record labels target audience would probably be both
men and women from about their mid teens to late
twenties (15-30) the reason for this would probably be
because most of the artist look quite young and their
music would be suitable for many ages. This subsidiary
record label along with its artist would mainly aim
themselves in America and possibly the UK.

8. With Republic Records, I think that their target
audience would be both boys and girls of ages
between 15- early 20’s. The reason for this is
because they have artist like Nicki Minaj, Lorde
and their music genres and how they present
themselves would be about this age range.
