Beyoncé is currently signed to Columbia Records and her own entertainment and management company, Parkwood Entertainment. She has been with Columbia Records since the beginning of her career with Destiny's Child in 1997.

In 2008, Beyoncé established Parkwood Entertainment, which now operates as a joint venture with Columbia Records. This partnership allows her to maintain significant creative control over her music while benefiting from Columbia's extensive distribution network and industry expertise.

Throughout her career, Beyoncé has released all her solo albums through Columbia Records: - Dangerously in Love (2003) - B'Day (2006) - I Am... Sasha Fierce (2008) - 4 (2011) - Beyoncé (2013) - Lemonade (2016) - Renaissance (2022)

The partnership between Columbia Records and Parkwood Entertainment has proven highly successful, with Beyoncé's albums consistently achieving platinum status and breaking numerous industry records. Her most recent album, "Renaissance," was also released under this arrangement.

Parkwood Entertainment extends beyond just music, handling various aspects of Beyoncé's career including film, television, fashion, and philanthropy. However, for music distribution and recording, Columbia Records remains her primary label partner.

This dual arrangement gives Beyoncé unique advantages in the music industry, combining the resources of a major record label with the creative freedom of her own entertainment company. It's a model that has influenced how other artists structure their recording deals.
