EMI Music Philippines

EMI is the world’s largest independent music company, operating directly in 50 countries and with licensees in a further 20 and employing over 6,600 people. Revenues in the last financial year were nearly £2 billion, generating operating profit of over £225 million.

The company comprises two divisions – EMI Music, one of the top global recorded music companies, and EMI Music Publishing, the world’s largest and most successful music publishers.

As an owner of digital music content, EMI is extremely well positioned to capitalise on the rapid growth of digital music. EMI’s strategy is to deliver music to consumers in any form, at any time and in any place. By the middle of 2005 digital revenues accounted for just under five per cent of EMI Group’s total revenues, with that figure expected to reach 25 per cent in five years.

EMI’s executive management team is headed by EMI Group chairman Eric Nicoli . Martin Stewart is EMI Group's chief financial officer. EMI Music is run by chairman and CEO Alain Levy and vice chairman David Munns, whilst EMI Music Publishing is the responsibility of chairman and joint CEO Martin Bandier and joint CEO Roger Faxon.

EMI Music represents more than 1,000 recording artists worldwide, spanning all musical tastes and genres, and owns one of the finest catalogues of recorded music ever assembled. The company’s roster includes music legends such as The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd and Mstislav Rostropovich; global superstars like Norah Jones, Robbie Williams, Gorillaz and Coldplay; newly successful acts such as Joss Stone, Keith Urban and Yellowcard; plus some of the world’s finest classical artists including Nigel Kennedy, Simon Rattle, Itzhak Perlman and Angela Gheorghiu.

EMI Music’s record labels include Angel, Astralwerks, Blue Note, Capitol, Capitol Nashville, EMI, EMI Classics, EMI CMG, EMI Televisa Music, Mute, Narada, Parlophone and Virgin.

With around 6,000 employees worldwide, EMI Music’s turnover last year was over £1.6 billion, earning profits of £125 million.

EMI Music Publishing owns the largest catalogue of songs in the world, containing over a million contemporary and classic titles. Its roster of songwriters is unparalleled. The company has won and continues to win more industry accolades and publisher of the year awards than any other music publisher. Its catalogue of best-selling songs includes Bohemian Rhapsody, I Heard It Through The Grapevine, New York, New York, Over the Rainbow, the James Bond theme, Singin’ In The Rain, Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town, Wild Thing, We Will Rock You, Angels, Baby Love, Crazy in Love and Daydream Believer.

With offices all around the world, EMI Music Publishing has about 630 staff and last financial year generated around £400 million in turnover and profits of about £100 million.
