Major record labels such as Universal Music will have sub-labels and other subsidiary companies to serve various genres of music and entertainment. Show the interviewer that you have done your homework on their company before your interview by listing a few of these things that you should know. Keep in mind that you don't need to start listing off every single subsidiary of Universal Music. You just have to show the interviewer that you are engaged and genuinely interested in their organization.

"I know that your most well-known sister companies and labels include Interscope Records and Capitol Music Group. I have researched Universal Music Group extensively and was very interested in finding that you also own Def Jam Recordings. I am eager to learn even more about your diverse company."

I know that Universal has at least 15 subsidiaries and labels and that they all are in some form of entertainment with a very diverse roster and catalog of music and content that distributes on a global scale. I am also interested in finding out about more of the things those companies do.

Great! The interviewer will appreciate that you have done your research on the company. Can you go more in-depth, though? Consider talking about what some of the subsidiaries do and what interests you about them. Let your passion for the industry and this company shine through so the interviewer knows that you really want the job!
