Transcend Music, formerly Transcend Records, is a British record label and management company. Founded in 2007 by Rob Ferguson, they have signed acts such as Malefice,〔 Fields of the Nephilim and The Dirty Youth. ==History== Transcend Music was founded as Transcend Records in Milton Keynes, United Kingdom in 2007. Inititally, the label's main focus was rock and metal, though a wider variety in genre of earlier releases included acid folk and art rock. Founder Rob Ferguson has stated, "starting the label was something I was driven to do out of frustration. I was already working with bands in a management capacity and I felt that I could offer a better solution for those artists to get their music out and advance their careers."〔 Ferguson had previously worked with artists as diverse as George Harrison, Pete Townshend, John Entwhistle, Duran Duran, Iron Maiden, The Spice Girls, and Robbie Williams. He was also personal manager to both Matt Goss and Luke Goss from teen band Bros, and continues to represent Matt Goss in his solo career, currently headlining at Caesars Palace Las Vegas. The label's first full length release was ''The Unholy Feast'' by The More I See, produced by Andy Sneap.〔 By 2008 the label had expanded to also handle management and merchandise.〔 They also changed their name to Transcend Music Ltd., which is often shortened to Transcend Music. In 2009 they signed an exclusive distribution deal with Plastic Head Music in Europe, the biggest independent distributor in the UK.〔 In March 2010 they announced they had absorbed the management and booking operation Legacy Agency, which had been formed in late 2008 by Carl Sewell. Legacy had by then worked with bands such as Carcer City and While She Sleeps.〔 Transcend Music announced "a major restructuring program" in June 2012, which involved new signings and streamlining measures, as well as absorbing RMR Management.〔〔 ;Interesting connections Ferguson is featured in a number of real crime books, including two by UK gangster Reggie Kray and more recently in books by modern celebrity gangster Dave Courtney. Ferguson took a number of celebrities to meet Reggie Kray in prison, including the Fun Lovin Criminals. In April 2000 Ferguson was pictured in the funeral cortege of Charlie Kray, in the car with 'Mad' Frankie Fraser and Bartley Gorman King of the Gypsies. Ferguson has also been reported in private meetings with Lord Jeffrey Archer. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Transcend Music」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
