ABC Music is Australia's largest independent record label. It operates under the ABC Commercial division of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. It covers a wide range of music genres, including classical, children’s and adult contemporary music, blues, roots, rock, and Australian country music. Its imprints include ABC Classics and FOUR FOUR.
ABC Music Publishing was a separate business unit of ABC music, which published the work of composers and songwriters, until its catalogue was acquired by Universal Music Publishing Group Australia & NZ in 2020/21.
Established in 1974, ABC Music is one of the longest-running, most prolific and diverse independent record label.[1] Operating as part of the ABC Commercial division, ABC Music invests all profits back into the broader ABC, to spend on the creation of content and to further its ABC Charter activities.[2][3][4]
