- 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. Parent company Universal Music Group

- 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.
