HISTORY OF REPUBLIC

RECORDS
DONE BY: ADRIANO PUCCI

HOW IT ALL BEGAN

According to cofounder of Republic Records Avery
Lipman, the idea to create Republic Records was
conceived at their kitchen table of their own
apartment.

Avery states: "My brother and I had been working

at record companies. He was in between jobs and
we started putting records out as a hobby. We
had a grassroots approach to the business. The
first record we put out happened to work really
well. That was the Bloodhound Gang."

THE FIRST BIG MOVE

Records was in 1999 when they
were officially acquired by
Universal Music Group.

With this, Republic Records

would now be a fully owned
subsidiary of Universal Music
Group.

THE ROAD TO SUCCESS

From 2005 and on, the Lipmans began reshape their newly
formed company.

With this, they began to sign new and upcoming artists such
as Nelly, Lil Wayne, Elton John.
