2.  After an act is signed by a record label they're put into a studio to
create music, the record label then starts to create copies of the finished

promote it to the audience. For example the record label organises
interviews for the act on TV, radio, online websites, magazine etc.

3.  My artist would be signed to a major label, as she is a pop artist and fairly
mainstream several similar artists are on major labels also.
 I think that my artist would be most suited to Epic Records as it has similar
artists signed to it and is an artistic freedom label.
 Epic Records is a subsidiary of the conglomerate Sony Music Entertainment.
It was first launched in 1953 by CBS records, it marketed jazz, pop, and
classical music that didn’t fit in with the mainstream Columbia Records. By
the 1960s the label expanded to a variety of genres. Epic Records have
signed artists such as Avril Lavigne, Andre3000, Cher Lloyd, Karmin, Natasha
Bedingfield, Sara Bareilles, The Fray, The Script etc. Presently Epic Records
has a very broad genre based music label.
