As you can see, all of the artists that I have looked at are signed by major record labels, therefore I need to choose my record label in relation to this genre and in this case it will be a major record label.

I am going to go with Relentless Records as I believe that I am most like KT Tunstall and my music is also similar. So that is my chosen institution.
