MonarC Entertainment

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

MonarC Entertainment was a record label which was formed by Mariah Carey, under Island Records. The name comes from Carey's well-documented fascination with butterflies, but the name Monarch already belongs to a jazz label. The creative capitalization emphasizes Carey's initials.

Carey said, "I tried to give the label a broad spectrum, in terms of the imaging and imprint, so artists wouldn't feel that it was too closely associated with me or had to be only the musical genres that I've worked in. We're really open. Jerry Blair has been scouting a lot of different talent, and I have an artist I'm really excited about, a teen girl who's really great. We've already begun recording with her, and there are a whole lot of other things on the agenda."

The only album ever released with the MonarC logo was Carey's 2002 Charmbracelet. Shortly thereafter, the company folded into Island Records.
