What is an independent record company?

First of all, we need to understand what independent music is. Internationally, independent music generally refers to music published by small and medium-sized companies other than the world’s four major record companies (Warner, EMI, Universal, Sony-BMG). Music works, because the four major record companies dominate the international music trend and are in a monopoly position, and music has different forms and consumers have different choices, the four major record companies (or mainstream companies) cannot meet everyone's requirements. In addition, it is impossible for many singers or bands to sign with these four major companies, so various record companies have emerged to produce different types of records, including: pop, rock, electronic, folk, world music, experimental music, etc. For works of various music genres, such companies are called independent record companies, which are mainly different from the four major record companies (including subsidiaries).

The largest independent record company in China is "Modern Sky".

Hope this helps.
