who owns empire records

Empire Records can mean a couple of different things, but if you mean the music company EMPIRE, it was founded by Ghazi Shami, who is widely identified as its CEO and owner/founder.

If you meant the film

If you meant the 1995 movie Empire Records , that is a film property associated with Regency and Warner Bros., not a music label.

Quick note

There is also a UK company called EMPIRE RECORDS (UK) LIMITED listed in Companies House, which is a separate legal entity from the U.S.-based music company.

If you want, I can also help distinguish between:

• EMPIRE the record label
• Empire Records the movie
• Empire Records (UK) LIMITED
