Signed By - On the Imprint or on the Company

So this is a curious one, when adding the Artist Signed by Label relationship attribute, and the label has multiple entries in the database (usually the holding company, and then an imprint) should that relationship be established between the Artist and Holding Company or Artist and Imprint?

I’ve never seen or signed a record contract before, has anyone else - what’s the agreement between?

Just an example:

The contract will probably be signed with the company that owns the release label. However, this will happen for one of potentially many labels. This would then be better represented by the imprint (though that’s only a brand).

Therefore I am unsure.
