BMG Cuts The Ribbon On New Nashville Office

BMG's new Nashville HQ

BMG will welcome the NASHVILLE music industry to its new office near the city’s MUSIC ROW with an open house this afternoon (9/10). One of its superstar artists is expected to cut the ribbon to officially open the state-of-the-art complex at 1 Music Circle South, Suite 500, where staff has already been working for several weeks. The new building finally brings the company’s label (BBR MUSIC GROUP) and publishing operations under one roof, along with its copyright and royalty operations. BMG NASHVILLE is now the company’s third biggest division worldwide, after LOS ANGELES and the U.K., but ahead of GERMANY.

The new office includes both indoor and outdoor work spaces, seven fully equipped sonwgriting/recording rooms, and multiple live performance areas, including an outdoor terrace. It houses nearly 100 employees. In addition to its recording and publishing operations, the facility now serves as the central hub for BMG’s US copyright and royalties team.

JON LOBA, BMG’s EVP Recorded Music NASHVILLE, said, “In the short two-and-a-half years since BBR MUSIC GROUP became BMG, the development and growth has been absolutely phenomenal. The goals we set forth are not only being achieved but surpassed. Country music is one of the most dynamic genres in the world, and BMG has the team and global platform to deliver not only in the U.S., but internationally. We’re offering a new route to the worldwide market.”

KOS WEAVER, EVP of BMG NASHVILLE, added, “The new NASHVILLE set-up typifies the BMG approach. It’s a thrill being in an environment where you have writers working on a song in one room, the creative A&R team just outside those doors, an impressive full-service record label just beyond that, and a world- class administrative team all seamlessly integrated in the same office."
