BMI’s Spark program just got a serious upgrade. Launched earlier this year as a hub of resources, discounts, and support for affiliated songwriters and composers, Spark is now expanding its roster with a fresh wave of industry heavyweights—and the timing couldn’t be better for anyone looking to level up their craft.
The new lineup includes Cubase and Dorico by Steinberg, Fender, Muso.AI, Merch Cat, Shure, Orchestral Tools, Fourthwall, Hyperwknd, and MusiCares®. If that list feels like a musician’s wish-board, well, that’s the point. From top-tier gear to credit-tracking tools and wellness support, the additions broaden Spark’s reach across three core focus areas: career development, education, and well-being.
And Spark isn’t just coasting on new names—some of its early partners are doubling down. Disc Makers, RoEx, and RootNote have expanded their offerings, making it clear the program is gaining momentum.
As BMI put it in their official announcement: “We’re thrilled with the overwhelming positive response that Spark has received from our songwriters and composers, as well as the partners and companies who want to be part of what we are building,” said Jess Robertson, Executive Director of Strategic Partnerships and Industry Research. “We’re looking forward to introducing this new group to our BMI family and continuing our work to ensure music creators get the support they need to keep growing and developing while doing what they love.”
For affiliated writers and composers, Spark lives inside BMI’s online portal—worth bookmarking if you haven’t logged in lately. Along with offers from new partners, BMI promises regular updates, educational materials, and even monthly career advice articles to keep the creative wheels turning.
So whether you’re learning new production chops in Cubase, grabbing gear with a Fender discount, or cleaning up your catalog credits with Muso.AI, Spark is becoming less of a perk and more of a toolkit for building a sustainable music career.
