Labels and songwriters
The Recorded Music division includes labels such as Atlantic, Warner Records, Parlophone and Elektra. Warner Chappell Music works with songs and songwriters, a different rights layer from the recordings released by labels. Understanding those two activities helps distinguish a recording agreement from a publishing relationship when following an artist or catalogue. [1]
Services around the music
Warner Music Group also includes ADA, which serves the independent music community, and WMX, its artist-services division. The business therefore extends beyond releasing records under its own frontline labels. Its headquarters are in Manhattan, New York, while its subsidiaries, affiliates and licensed partners give it an international operating footprint across recorded music and publishing. [1] [2]
