History
[ edit ]
In 1995, after OctoArts International (now PolyEast Records ) signed a distribution deal with EMI , Sony Music Philippines was established with its first office on Shaw Boulevard in Mandaluyong.[2] Sony BMG merger (which happened a year earlier), it merged with Bertelsmann 's local label BMG Records (Pilipinas) Inc. (itself founded in the early 1990s) to become Sony BMG Music Entertainment Philippines.[6] Quezon City to the Taipan Place in Ortigas, Pasig for even lower taxes and better work amenities. In 2009, the label was renamed Sony Music Entertainment Philippines, and also began partnering with GMA Records for releases of some artists like Aljur Abrenica and La Diva .
Ivory Music and Video (formerly Ivory Records) began handling distribution for Sony Music's catalog in the Philippines on July 1, 2011, and in February 2012, the label closed its office at the Taipan Place in Ortigas, Pasig after a long battle with widespread piracy.[5] Viva Communications through its music unit on the day of what could have been the twelfth anniversary of the date they started to handle the Sony catalog.
Sony Music Philippines started to re-open in 2018 (and since then it became fully independent since early 2011), and in July 2019, the label held a press event in Pasig marking its formal re-launching, announcing the new roster of artists signed to them which includes Ben&Ben , The Vowels They Orbit, Alex Bruce, Syd Hartha, and the band Nathan & Mercury.[7]
In late 2019, Filipino boy band SB19 signed a recording contract with the label.[8] 4th Impact also signed a recording contract.
In 2020, artists from Balcony Entertainment, including its founder Rico Blanco and actress/singer Maris Racal , signed an agreement with Sony Music Philippines to distribute single/album releases from the Balcony roster.
In 2021, SME launched Waterwalk Records, a sublabel focused on Contemporary Christian music featuring artists like Morissette .
In 2023, Sony Music Philippines formed a partnership with Ely Buendia 's label Offshore Music, allowing SMP to distribute Offshore's music catalogs worldwide.[9]
