Sony Music Video launched its Sony Kids' Music and Sony Kids' Video labels in February 1992 after months of planning under the banner SMV Children's Library. Artists signed to Sony Kids' Music at launch included Dan Crow, Tom Chapin, Tom Paxton, Kevin Roth, Rory, and Lois Young, who would all release product in the spring. After Sony Music Video dissolved in October, Sony Kids' Music and Video were coordinated and marketed through Epic Records beginning in January 1993. On April 6, 1992, The Lyons Group signed a long-term agreement with Epic Records to distribute home video and audio titles through Sony Music. Also, on May 22, 1993, Nickelodeon signed a long-term agreement with Epic Records as well.
