Sony Music Philippines


Sony Music Philippines is a record label based in the Philippines, which was founded in 1995 as an imprint of the international music label Sony Music Entertainment and a part of its Asia Pacific chain. After the closure of the local label caused by widespread piracy problem in the Philippines on 2012, it resumed its operations on 2018.

History

Sony Music Philippines was founded in 1995 in Pasig City. In 2005, as an after-effect of the Sony BMG merger, it merged with Bertelsmann's local label BMG Records Inc. to become Sony BMG Music Entertainment Philippines. In 2009, the label was renamed Sony Music Entertainment Philippines.
After the label closed its Manila office in 2012, Sony Music signed with Ivory Music and Video as the exclusive licensee of its international releases in the Philippines.
Upon the Sony Music Philippines reopening in 2018, the label held a press event one year later, 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.
In the same year, Filipino boy band SB19 signed a recording contract with the label.
