With a heritage of artists from across the musical spectrum, Decca Records is one of the most established names in music. Today, it continues to be a label of great diversity, thriving on discovering talent in areas such as pop, rock, folk, Americana, and many more.
Established in 1929, Decca is one of the world’s iconic record labels and has been the home to countless legendary musicians including Luciano Pavarotti, Dame Vera Lynn and Bing Crosby to name a few, and is now providing the platform for a new generation of ambitious artists at the forefront of their scenes – names such as Andrea Bocelli, Sheku Kanneh-Mason, Melody Gardot, Max Richter, Aurora, Ludovico Einaudi and Gregory Porter, who continue to represent the label’s cultural legacy.
With over 2000 albums and 45 Gramophone Awards to its name, Hyperion Records has been a label of extraordinary vision, drive and courage for over 40 years. Founded by Ted Perry MBE and managed by his son Simon for over 20 years, Hyperion is home to distinguished recording artists including Marc-André Hamelin, Angela Hewitt OBE, Sir Stephen Hough, Alina Ibragimova, Steven Isserlis, Dame Emma Kirkby, Steven Osborne and the Takács Quartet. It is dedicated to presenting outstanding classical music from the 12th century to the 21st century.
Mercury KX is the first post-classical imprint operating within a major music group. The label aims to identify and work with composer-performers of strong creative individuality that bring a distinct perspective to contemporary music, focusing on new instrumental music – crossing borders between electronic, modern, classical, alternative and ambient. Ólafur Arnalds, Sophie Hutchings, Jean-Michel Blais, Erland Cooper and Isobel Waller-Bridge are just a few of genre-defying artists who call Mercury KX home.
