In the Name Of was a Britanic record label owned by Sony Music Entertainment and founded in 2011 by singer Lily Allen.
Background
The singer has been working on establishing her label since 2009, when she also announced she would take a break from recording her own music, adding she wanted to set up her own label as she was disillusioned with the music industry. She said: "I'm setting up a record label at the moment, getting involved in lots of different things. I think things need to change in the music industry and we need to rethink a lot of stuff."[1]
In January 2011, Allen's representatives confirmed she is launching her own record label, known as In the Name Of. The first act signed to the label which is financially backed by Sony Music is New York noise pop duo, Cults. Sony is backing the new company and they have given Allen her own £100,000 salary to hire staff and set up an office, according to UK newspaper The Sun.[2]
