Raymond Braun Media Group, abbreviated as RBMG, is an American record label founded by R&B singer Usher (whose surname is Raymond) and talent manager Scooter Braun in 2008 as a joint venture. The label was initially created for both parties to mutually manage the career and recording catalogue of then-rising teen pop singer Justin Bieber. As of 2024, Bieber remains the only artist to ever sign with the label. [1]
RBMG also has a special profit-sharing business deal with Def Jam Recordings, owned by Universal Music Group.
History
Raymond and Braun founded RBMG Music in 2008, in conjunction with Island Def Jam, to debut teen singer Justin Bieber. [2] Bieber's debut EP, My World, was the label's first release. It was certified platinum in the U.S. In March 2010, Bieber released his debut album My World 2.0, which received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 2011 ceremony and was certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
