Research into the Industry























- I have chosen to use a track by an unsigned artist called Jodie Jones

- Jodie is 19 years old and is from Devon, UK.

- Jodie began songwriting at school and released her home recorded debut album in 2005

- Jodie lists "Suzanne Vega, Bruce Hornsby, Vanessa Carlton, Avril Lavigne, Counting Crows" as her influences on her Myspace Music page

- Her lyrics are upfront and confrontational

- As of yet Jodie Jones is an unsigned artist. However, if she were to be signed to a record label it would most probably be to a major record label such as Sony Music Entertainment or EMI

- She would more than likely be signed by a major record label because her music would largely be classified in the pop genre which appeals to the masses and potentially would bring in a lot of profit for the labels

- Major record labels have certain genres they would not sign e.g. alternative rock because they do not fit in the image of popular, widespread music that the company has created for itself
