Katy Perry to launch own record label

by **leoapp** » Fri Jun 22, 2012 5:28 am

Katy Perry is launching her own record label. And, in a music business twist, the pop singer wants her new venture to help the recording artists she signs see the profits.

"I'm preparing for it now," she tells The Hollywood Reporter in a new cover story. "And when this record label does come to fruition, I'm going to try and avoid the things that take away any fighting chance for an artist to have financial success. As people are coming to me with opportunities, I'm thinking, 'How would I want to be treated?'"

That's a bit risky actually.

She'd do well to sign up Rebecca Black.

Her label will just create her a sublabel, have her as an executive producer on a few albums and launch the new artists off the back of her involvement. That's what MIA did with Interscope. No financial risk.

I find all of these extra activities like that movie and now this a bit funny and premature.

Katy is not a brand, a very successful pop singer, yes.

I know right!

It has potential to be quite a lucrative venture for her. It's worked for others e.g. LMFAO on Will.I.Am's label, Gym Class Heroes on Pete Wentz's label.

I was wondering what type of alcohols she mixed, causing her become this much delusional.

I don't see the problem, shade or hate.

She's one of today's most successful stars, is CREATING her brand and has all the qualities with which she could nurture younger artists, serve as executive producer and make some more money - all the while giving an unknown a chance.

Commercial: She is the queen of commercial music. She has built the most successful system for profit (between albums, singles, touring, era's movie)

Artistry: Haters will hate, but the girl is a songwriter, composer and musician - NOT just a singer.

Longevity: She's already made it through her first two mainstream eras, with her second being the bigger!

I don't see the problem. Her sublabel can BECOME her brand.

People used to say Jessica Simpson wasn't a brand (because of her cheesy songs and so-so commercial success), but $1 billion in profits and a $100 million net worth later, she is an entertainment BRAND though not a music icon.

Let Katy get in where she can!

I was just about to use Jessica Simpson as an example.

Does that mean that she will leave Capitol?
