Artemis Records was a New York–based independent record label, founded in June 1999 by Danny Goldberg with Daniel Glass as president,[1][2][3] and closed in April 2006. The label was acquired by E1 Entertainment.

As of 2006, Artemis Records was owned by Sheridan Square Entertainment LLC (SSE), an independent music company then based in New York.[4]

In November 2005, Richard Branson sold the North America division of his V2 Records label to SSE for $15 million. Sheridan Square then merged all of its labels, including Artemis Records, into V2 North America.[5] V2 North America, and subsequently Artemis, was shuttered in January 2007 following a restructuring.[6][7] In 2009, the newly formed IndieBlu Music Holdings LLC acquired SSE's business, including V2 North America, in a UCC foreclosure auction. IndieBlu was acquired by Entertainment One in 2010.[4][8]
