Kelly Clarkson Starts Her Own Music Label: ‘I Feel Like I’ve Earned It, So I’m Excited’

On the airing of her self-titled talk show on January 22, Kelly Clarkson announced she’s ventured into a new phase in her career by launching her own record label.

The news broke during a conversation between Clarkson, aged 42, and her guest Keke Palmer, who has been running her own record label for around six to seven years, as they discussed the musical collective DivaGurl.

Clarkson, clearly excited, shared that she too had taken a similar step in the realm of music not long ago.

She mentioned that compared to you, she’s significantly older. Yet, despite her years of experience, this is her debut in her career, having recently established her own record label and releasing her own work. She’s had excellent teams to collaborate with, but there’s nothing quite like the excitement of being a youngster once more, without anyone suggesting what she should or shouldn’t do.

One of Them Days star Palmer, 31, noted people don’t realize how hard it is.

Clarkson admitted that she had started working on a music video for one of her songs but realized that she had forgotten something crucial. She was unsure about how to release it, but then decided to do it herself. In simpler terms, she said “I’m making a music video, and I suddenly remembered that I forgot an important step. I wasn’t sure how to put it out, but then I thought, ‘Well, I guess I’ll just do it myself.’

Clarkson added, “I feel like I’ve earned it, so I’m excited. I think I’ve earned the moment.”

Following her victory on the first season of American Idol in 2002, Clarkson secured a record contract with RCA Records. Through this deal, she has released seven studio albums: Thankful, Breakaway, My December, All I Ever Wanted, Stronger, Wrapped in Red, and Piece by Piece.

In 2016, Kelly Clarkson left RCA Records and joined Atlantic Records. Since then, she’s put out three albums: “Meaning of Life” (released in 2017), “When Christmas Comes Around” (released during the holiday season), and her latest album, “Chemistry,” which dropped in June 2023.

On January 23rd, Clarkson’s name was still visible on Atlantic Records’ artist list, but there were no public details about her personal business endeavor at that time.
