So many artists are signed to different labels, but they are extremely popular. How does a label work and why would an artist even want to sign to one since labels typically get a percent of money. Also, I thought independent or indie artists were not signed to a label but if you go to Spotify and look up indie music half of them are signed to a label.

Historically record labels served as the investors behind the artist’s career. They would sign a contract agreeing to pay to record the music, market and distribute it, bankroll the tours, etc .. in exchange for a LARGE piece of the revenue.
