What is a Record Label?

The production, distribution, and promotion of music recordings is the work of a company called a record label. To produce and distribute their music, record labels typically sign agreements with bands or musicians. In return, the label receives a percentage of the revenue generated from the sales of the recordings. Musicians receive a range of services from record labels, such as distribution channels for their music, recording and production facilities, and marketing and promotional services. Additionally, the label may license the use of the music recordings in films, TV shows, advertisements, and other media, including the master recordings.
