Major labels are large music companies that sign and promote artists, helping them produce and distribute their music. These labels often have significant financial resources and connections in the industry, allowing them to reach a wide audience through radio, streaming services, and live events. Examples of major labels include Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, and Warner Music Group. Artists signed to major labels typically receive support in marketing, production, and distribution, which can lead to greater exposure and commercial success. However, signing with a major label often means that artists must share a portion of their earnings and may have less creative control over their music compared to independent labels.
