Major record labels are bigger and more powerful then the independent labels. They manufacture, distribute and promote the music of people under contract. It is likely that most major labels are owned by a parent company, for example, EMI's parent company is Universal music group.
There are huge benefits of being independent compared to being with a major record label. For example when you are working independently you have full rights and control over your music where as when with a major record label you wouldn't have full control of your work.
Major record label artists earn around 10%-15% royalty on their music. where as an independent label is likely to offer 40-75% in royalty.
Major record labels do not work closely with the fans. With independent labels, they work much closer to the fans. They feel like they have a connection with the artist.
With the progression of technology, independent labels can benefit from it as they can now put demos of song on the internet.
