What is a Record Label?
A record label is like a special company that helps musicians. They help artists record their songs, make them into albums, and then sell them to people who want to listen. Styx Records does this for artists who play certain kinds of music.
The Music Styx Records Loves
Styx Records is all about blues, rhythm & blues, and boogie woogie music. These are all types of music that came from African-American communities in the United States.
- Blues music often tells stories about feelings, sometimes sad ones, but it can also be joyful. It uses special notes and rhythms.
- Rhythm & Blues (often called R&B) is a mix of blues, jazz, and gospel music. It's usually more upbeat and good for dancing.
- Boogie Woogie is a very energetic piano style of blues. It has a strong, driving rhythm that makes you want to tap your feet!
