Brand: Decca

Decca Records is a British record label that was founded in 1929 as a subsidiary of the American company Brunswick Records. Throughout its history, Decca has been home to many iconic musicians and has contributed significantly to the development of popular music. In the 1940s and 1950s, Decca's Classics division became one of the leading record labels in classical music, recording various famous orchestras and conductors. Decca also became a major player in jazz, with notable signings like George Shearing, Chris Barber, and Benny Goodman. In the 1960s, Decca expanded into pop music, signing acts like The Rolling Stones, Engelbert Humperdinck, and Tom Jones. The label's success in pop continued in the 1970s, thanks to acts like electronic duo Kraftwerk and singer-songwriter Joan Armatrading. Now part of Universal Music Group, Decca continues to be a leading force in the British music industry, with a diverse stable of artists ranging from classical musicians like Nicola Benedetti and Jan Lisiecki to chart-topping pop acts like Rhodes and Echosmith.
