Record Label




We chose Decca Records as our record label, which will represent our Kirstie Mayweather, our artist. The reason we Decca Records was because of the fact its a British record label and because it discovers talent in areas like pop. Also the way it brings people from different areas in pop shows it quite diverse in the music they distribute. Our artist is not the average lively pop artist, she's different to that and we saw the artists that are signed to Decca and we believed that she fitted more into this category because none of these artists are the same as others artists in the same genre of music.

About Decca:
The name “Decca” dates back to a portable gramophone called the “Decca Dulcephone” patented in 1914 by musical instrument makers Barnett Samuel and Sons. That company was eventually renamed The Decca Gramophone Co. Ltd. and then sold to former stockbroker Edward Lewis in 1929. Within years Decca Records Ltd. was the second largest record label in the world, calling itself “The Supreme Record Company”. The name “Decca” was coined by Wilfred S. Samuel by merging the word “Mecca” with the initial D of their logo “Dulcet” or their trademark “Dulcephone.”

Decca Records is a British record label established in 1929 by Edward Lewis.
