url =JayTee Records is a
record label set up by American vocalistJustin Timberlake in 2005. His record contract is still withJive Records . Recently the label signed to Interscope/Geffen/A&M Records for a joint venture deal to release future artist to the label.Future Projects
Timberlake, the label's founder, has been in discussion with representatives from the Memphis chapter of the Recording Association, the group behind the
Grammy Award s, to purchase bothStax Records (ofOtis Redding fame) and alsoSun Records (which are the breeding ground for legendary artists such asRoy Orbison ,Jerry Lee Lewis andElvis Presley , to name but a few). This project would boost the Memphis local economy but could lead to the demise of Memphis' 50 small scale recording labels. Timberlake, who is a Memphis native, would be a welcome addition to Memphis' already famous and legendary list of artists to have interest in Memphis as a musical center. It is assumed that JayTee Records would be either the name of the new project, or would fall into a new label name. It has yet to be specified.Signed Artists
