WMG and EMG signed the recorded music rights for Tones and I around the world outside of Australasia.<\/p>\n

Structure<\/h6>\n

Elektra Music Group houses a number of record labels that previously operated as sub-imprints at Atlantic Records (also a Warner Music Group frontline concern).<\/p>\n

Record labels operating as part of Elektra Music Group include Fueled By Ramen, Elektra, Roadrunner, Low Country Sound, and Black Cement Records.<\/p>\n

Elektra Music Group aims to allow each of these brands to operate as “unique, independent label brands”.<\/p>\n

Although EMG itself operates autonomously within the Warner structure, Easterlin and Nadel will continue to report into Atlantic Records Group Chairman & CEO, Craig Kallman, and Chairman & COO, Julie Greenwald<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When EMG launched, it had a dedicated staff of 60 employees, many of whom joined the company from previous roles within the Warner and Atlantic setup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
