Universal Music Group
Universal Music Group isn't a label — it's a conglomerate in the business of accompanying you. Publishing, distribution, merch, artist services, Web3 ventures, JVs in markets they don't know — all of it feeds up to one thing: making sure that wherever music travels, UMG travels with it. The lesson isn't about UMG specifically. It's that knowing the business you're actually in tells you what structure you need to build.
