Raymond Braun Media Group, abbreviated as RBMG and currently under the brand name Scooter Braun, is an American record label founded by R&B singer Usher (whose surname is Raymond) and talent manager Scooter Braun in 2008 as a joint venture. The label was initially created for both parties to mutually manage the career and recording catalogue of then-rising teen pop singer Justin Bieber. As of 2024, Bieber remains the only artist to ever sign with the label.[1]
RBMG also has a special profit-sharing business deal with Def Jam Recordings, owned by Universal Music Group.
