Record Label

After some research into country music record labels in the industry, I have chosen the independent label Big Machine Records for my artist's album.

Big Machine Records is known for specializing in country music artists and it has strong links with major labels like Sony. It was launched in 2005 by former DreamWorks Records executive Scott Borchetta. Big Machine is based in Nashville, Tennessee, and is distributed by Republic Records (formerly Universal Republic Records until its demise) while Universal Music Group distributes its material internationally. The label is famous for its founding artist, Taylor Swift. It has seven Grammy Awards, awarded to Swift.
The artists that are part of Big Machine currently are:
  • Taylor Swift
  • Tim McGraw
  • Rascal Flatts
  • Laura Bell Bundy
  • The Cadillac Three
  • Danielle Bradbery
Former artists:
  • Garth Brooks
  • Dusty Drake
  • Edens Edge
  • Adam Gregory
  • Jack Ingram
  • Kate & Kacey
  • Danielle Peck
  • Melissa Peterman
  • Steel Magnolia
  • Fisher Stevenson
  • Jimmy Wayne
  • Trisha Yearwood

                          This means that the Big Machine Records logo (below) will be present in my ancillary texts.
