Giant Music is an American independent record label founded in 2022, by American businessman and record executive, Irving Azoff.[1] The label, serves as a rebranded reboot of Azoff's former venture, Giant Records, a subsidiary of Warner Records he originally founded and managed from 1990 until Warner ended the joint venture with the label in 2001.[2] Ironically, Warner Music Sweden would revive and appropriate the branding of "Giant Records" as a single's label in 2015, without Azoff's involvement.[3]
