How old do you have to be to get signed to a record label?

There is no specific age requirement to be signed to a record label, as it largely depends on the label's policies and the artist's maturity and readiness. However, many artists who are signed tend to be teenagers or young adults, typically around 15 to 20 years old. Some labels may work with younger artists, but parental consent is often required for minors. Ultimately, talent and marketability are more critical factors than age.
