BMG Music Australia

BMG Australia is the Australian office of the international music company BMG Rights Management.

The Australian office opened in March 2016, with music executive Heath Johns heading the company as managing director. Johns previously worked at Universal Music Publishing Group where he signed and developed Australian talent such as Wolfmother, Jet, The Veronicas, M-Phazes, Guy Sebastian and Peking Duk.[1]

In July 2016, the iconic Australian independent music company Albert Music was acquired by BMG, diverting much of Alberts' contemporary and catalogue writers to BMG Australia's growing local roster.[2]
