EMI Music

EMI Music Group, Inc. (commonly referred to as EMI Music or EMI, stylised as "EMI Music") is an American global music company. Owned by the Japanese conglomerate Sega Group under its Sega Media division.

It was originally founded in 1931 as Electric and Musical Industries Ltd and renamed as EMI Group Limited in 1964. In 1995, EMI and News Corporation launched a joint-venture called EMI Interscope Music, a merger of News Corp's Interscope Music Group and EMI's labels. In 2002, EMI was merged into News Corporation, closing the EMI Interscope joint-venture, and merging the two companies together. In 2015, as part of a larger reorganisation effort, EMI, along with other entertainment assets, were split off News Corp and became 21st Century Fox, which itself merged with the Sega Group in late 2020. Sega Media Group president Hiruma Yoriyoshi reorganised EMI Group into EMI Music in February 2021.

As of 2020, EMI Music is the third largest of the "Big Six" record companies, behind Universal Music Group and followed by Sony Music. Its music publishing division EMI/ATV (now known as EMI Music Publishing) is the largest music publisher in the world.
