The label takes its name from the Madison Avenue gated entrance to Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California.
In 2013, Madison Gate Records swept the soundtrack category at the Grammy Awards, earning wins for both Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media for the soundtrack from Midnight in Paris and Best Score Soundtrack For Visual Media for the soundtrack from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
The a cappella group Pentatonix, who were the grand prizewinner in Season 3 of NBC's The Sing-Off, was signed exclusively to Madison Gate Records prior to signing with RCA Records in May 2014.
