Sony Music Entertainment is an American music company owned by Sony that is incorporated as a general partnership of Sony Music Holdings Inc. through Sony Entertainment, a subsidiary of Sony Corporation of America. The company was first founded in 1929 as American Record Corporation and renamed Columbia Recording Corporation in 1938, following its acquisition by the Columbia Broadcasting System. In 1966, the company was reorganised to become CBS Records. Sony Corporation bought the company in 1987 and renamed it Sony Music Entertainment in 1991.
As you can see Sony have a large amount of big name artists, people like ASAP Rocky, AC/DC and James Arthur etc. For a record label it is vital to have big name artists on board because it simply attracts more artists to want to work with a company such as Sony, Sony work with artists from what seems like a huge variety of genre's so therefore they aren't based on a specific type.
Sony was founded in 1929 in New York in the United States. Their revenue in 2014 was estimated at 4.89 Billion US dollars. They have a few subsidiary labels such as RCA records and Columbia records.
