Justin Timberlake forms record label

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Justin Timberlake has joined forces with a rival music company to launch his own label, Tennman Records.

The Los Angeles-based label -- whose name pays tribute to Timberlake's home state of Tennessee -- will operate as a joint venture with Interscope Records. Timberlake will serve as chairman and CEO, a statement said.

As an artist, Timberlake is signed to Jive Records, a unit of Sony BMG Music Entertainment. Interscope, meanwhile, is a unit of Universal Music Group.

Tennman will announce its first signings in the next few weeks, a statement said. Former Sony BMG talent scout Ken Komisar will serve as president.

Its a useless thing at this point to venture into anything to do with music. Labels are losing so much money, this is going to be as productive as Mariah Careys Monarch records was. Interscope actually is in some serious financial trouble, believe it or not.
