It was based on the then-defunct [[Republic Records]] label founded by brothers [[Monte Lipman|Monte]] and Avery Lipman. In the summer of 2011, changes were made at one of the three Universal Music Group umbrella labels, [[Universal Motown Republic Group]], and [[Motown Records]] was separated from [[Universal Motown Records]] (causing it to shut down and transfer its artists to either Motown Records or Universal Republic Records) and the umbrella label and merged into [[The Island Def Jam Music Group]], making Universal Republic Records a stand alone label and shutting down Universal Motown Republic Group.<ref name="billboard.biz">[http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/industry/record-labels/ethiopia-habtemariam-named-senior-vice-president-1005312132.story Ethiopia Habtemariam Named Senior Vice President of Motown Records].
