Record company name/profile logo

The music industry, a record label is a brand and a trademark associated with the marketing of music recordings and music videos. There are many different record label's all over the world for all types of genre within the music industry for example;Polydor, Island, Sony, Def Jam, Big Machine Records, Syco, Universal and Warner Brothers. We have decided to use the record label company Big Machine Record because this is the company that signed Taylor Swift and she is are inspiration and role model throughout so we are going to stick by her and go for the same record  label company, also they specialize in our chosen genre of county music so it would be prefect. 

 

Big Machine Records is an Independent American record label specializing in country music artists. It was launched in 2005 by former DreamWorks Records executive Scott Borchetta. The label was part of a joint venture between Borchetta and country singer Toby Keith, although Keith dropped his affiliation in 2006.
Big Machine is based in Nashville, Tennessee, and is distributed by Universal Music Group. The label has one Grammy for Album of the Year, awarded to Fearless from Taylor Swift.
In November 2007, Big Machine Records founded a subsidiary imprint called Valory Music Group. Acts signed to this roster include Jimmy Wayne (who was formerly signed to Big Machine), Jewel, and Justin Moore. By late 2008, the label began promoting Canadian acts Adam Gregory and Emerson Drive, who are also signed to Midas Records. Big Machine ended promotion for the two artists in 2009. Reba McEntire joined Valory in 2009, in association with her own label, Starstruck.
Big Machine joined with Universal Republic in June 2009 to found a new label, Republic Records Nashville.
