We’re excited to announce we’ve partnered with BMI® to help launch its exciting new program, Spark, designed to help BMI’s music creators thrive throughout every stage of their career.
Available to BMI songwriters, composers and producers, Spark features exclusive offers and special discounts on leading music creation tools and tech, valuable career insights, educational content and health and wellness resources, all tailored to ignite the creative development, lifestyles and well-being of BMI’s affiliates, including Rise and our subsidiary Tout.
“After hearing from many of our emerging music creators about how challenging it is to get their music heard and reach new audiences, we approached Rise to partner in BMI’s Spark program,” said BMI Executive Director of Strategic Partnerships & Industry Research, Jess Robertson. “As a songwriter myself, I know how difficult it can be to find trustworthy and sustainable ways to reach new fans. What excited me about working with Rise is that they offer a variety of music marketing campaigns and price points to fit the needs of music creators at every stage in their creative journeys. We’re excited to see how our partnership expands through the Spark program.”
Rise CEO Tim Jack added, “We’re incredibly excited to partner with BMI on their Spark program. This initiative truly understands the needs of today’s music creators, and we’re thrilled to contribute to their ‘Learn & Connect’ category. By providing access to our resources, we’re empowering BMI affiliates to sharpen their skills and unlock their full potential. We believe this collaboration will be a powerful catalyst for creative growth and success for artists within the BMI community.”
