Syco Music has offices in London and Los Angeles and is home to several artists. Syco has the exclusive right to sign winners and finalists of The X Factor and Got Talent due to the fact that the company was founded by Simon Cowell and offers a contracted deal with syco with the winner from X-Factor and Britain's Got Talent depending on the act. Susan Boyle's debut album, I Dreamed a Dream, has sold over 9 million copies, making it one of the best selling releases of the last decade and Syco's most successful release to date. Between 2004 and 2009, Leona Lewis became one of the most successful talent show winners when her second single, "Bleeding Love", propelled the album Spirit to 9 million global sales. The reason as to why i think that Syco would be a good record label is because it has people signed like One Direction and Little Mix and appeals to the same target audience as us as well. Another reason that Syco would be a good company is because it is a major record label which means that it is a popular label and its easy for a artist to get noticed and become successful if signed to Syco.
Def Jam Recordings is an American record label, focused predominantly on hip hop and urban music, owned by Universal Music Group. In the UK, the label takes on the name Def Jam UK and is operated through Virgin EMI. The label distributes various record labels, including Roc-A-Fella Records, Kanye West's GOOD Music and Ludicris. Current artists include Logic, Big Sean, Kanye West, Leona Lewis, Alesso and Frank ocean. Def Jam would be a good record label to choose because our song is by Rihanna and this is the record label that she is signed to. Def Jam also produces the type of music that our song relates to which is R&B and Hip Hop. i think that this would be a good record label because again it is a popular record label and it would be easy for someone to become successful if signed to this particular label.
Domino Recording Company, generally known as Domino, is an independent record label based in London. There is also a wing of the label based in Brooklyn and NY that handles releases in the United States. In addition, Domino is apart of a subsidiary label Geographic Music, which releases more unusual British and World music. In 2011, the company announced that it was beginning a book publishing division, The Domino Press. Domino would be the type of record label that we wouldn't necessarily choose due to the fact that it is an independent record label and produces music from artist that are not as well known as we would like also i think that this particular record label appeals to a more older target audience and produce music of a different genre.
