Starlight Music, also known as Starlight Records, is a music record company located in Los Angeles, California, created by Emmett and Jacqui Benton, the parents of Jerrica and Kimber, in June 30, 1977,[2] to finance Jacqui's singing career and the Starlight Foundation, which supports the foster girls of Starlight House.

History[]

When Emmett Benton died, he left half of the company to his daughters and the other half to Eric Raymond. But when Eric revealed that he wasn't willing to continue supporting the Starlight Foundation, and instead was more interested in making money, he promoted a new girl band: The Misfits. This is when Jerrica's other inheritance from her father, the holographic computer Synergy, revealed itself to her. Jerrica created her own band, The Holograms, and to avoid a conflict of interests, she created a new identity for herself, the pink-haired rockstar known as Jem.

After Eric challenged Jerrica to a "Battle of the Bands" between Jem and The Holograms and The Misfits, and The Holograms won, Jerrica ended up owning the entire company.

Starlight is a very large and impressive building, even if it's only half as tall as Misfits Music. Jerrica has her own office on the top floor and each of the other Holograms appear to have their own offices as well. There's also room for recording studios, conference rooms, a workshop for Rio Pacheco, and more. This is where Raya and the other competitors came to audition for the "Starlight Talent Search".[3]

Jerrica is always torn between all the hard work done at Starlight Music and her singing career as Jem. And even though Eric Raymond eventually ran Misfits Music (later rebranded as Stingers Sound) across the street, he kept plotting for a long time to take over Starlight Music again.

The building also appears in the 2015 live-action film, Jem and the Holograms, this time in the form of a whole corporation under the name of Starlight Enterprises, with Starlight Music being a division of such company. The place was presumably founded by Michael Raymond and his wife and current CEO, Erica Raymond. Since Michael's death, Erica became the sole owner of the company.

The building shares a few similarities with its animated series version counterpart, most noticeable the giant rising star logo on its facade, although this time around it is decorating the top of the main building, instead of being on its side.

According to Michael's will, his son, Rio, has the right to take over Starlight whenever he feels is ready to take charge. Erica, trying to prevent her son from knowing this, hid the will in a safe at her office, thus claiming the entire company for herself.
