Meet the Music Makers!

Imagine a super old company that helps make music famous. That's Columbia Records! It started way back in 1889, even before your great-great-grandparents were born. It's like the grandparent of all music companies, and it's still around, helping singers and bands share their songs with the world. They are part of a big company called Sony Music.

A Blast from the Past!

Columbia Records is super old, like older than a dinosaur bone! It began on January 15, 1889. That's a really, really long time ago. It was one of the very first companies to make and sell music records. Think of it like being one of the first kids to invent a new game that everyone loves to play!

Why We Love Columbia!

Columbia Records is important because it has been around for so long, helping music grow and change. They've seen so many amazing musicians and helped them share their songs with everyone. It's like they have a magic key to unlock incredible music for us to enjoy, from old songs to brand new hits.

How Music Gets to You!

Columbia Records helps artists record their songs in special studios. Then, they make copies of those songs, like making lots of drawings from one original picture. These songs are put onto things like CDs or digital files that you can listen to on your phone or computer. They make sure the music reaches your ears!
