According to the announcement, the New York-based label is a new division of Republic and signs, develops and markets emerging independent artists and creators, and partners with Ingrooves Music Group for distribution services.

The label has already released several charting albums: G Herbo’s “25,” Bo Burnham’s “Inside ,” Tomorrow X Together’s “The Chaos Chapter: Freeze” and Twice’s “Taste of Love.” Other Imperial artists include Baby Gravy, the Chemical Brothers, Jelani Aryeh, Brye, the Score, Chri$tian Gate$ and Laurel.
“Imperial Music was created to support the incredible emerging talent that continues to grow in the independent music sector,” Mendlinger said. “Artists and creators are seeking more independence, speed to market and services that scale with their needs. I’m thrilled with the quick and successful impact Imperial Music has made in the marketplace to support the next generation of musicians and creators.
