Organization
Broadcast Music Incorporated (BMI) seeks team members who have a passion for delivering excellent customer service both internally and externally to those we serve. For 70+ years we have been a global leader in rights management. We are an American performing rights organization that represents more than 800,000 songwriters, composers and music publishers in all genres of music and nearly 13 million works. We are proud to have the responsibility of collecting license fees from businesses that use music. We then distribute those funds (royalties) to the musical creators and copyright owners we represent. Without BMI and the work we do, many of those we represent would not be able to live their passion and get paid for doing so.

Work consists of music and market research in businesses in various states. Assignments include onsite research in businesses during late evenings, including weekends.

Our History
Eight Decades of Creative Progress
A timeline through BMI’s groundbreaking history
1940s BMI opens its doors and welcomes all music creators, regardless of their musical genre. Unlike ASCAP, our only competitor at the time, all are granted membership even if they have no established successful material.
BMI plays a critical role in the rise of country music. Rhythm & Blues makes its appearance in Billboard, with BMI virtually alone in representing R&B creators and publishers, licensing more than 90 percent of R&B radio hits on a weekly basis. Both genres fuse to give birth to a new genre that will sweep America and the world – rock and roll.
1950sElvis Presley joins BMI, and in quick succession, other performers including Buddy Holly, Miles Davis, Willie Nelson and Paul Simon follow.
BMI holds its first annual Country Awards and its first annual R&B Awards.
BMI hires Frances Preston to open the Company's Nashville office. As one of the first female music executives in Tennessee, she is a pioneer in the industry and goes on to become President and CEO of BMI until her retirement in 2004.
1980sBMI Icons, RUN-DMC, make history with their self-titled debut, rap’s first gold album, followed by King of Rock, rap’s first platinum album. With “Walk This Way,” their epic collaboration with Aerosmith, they forever blurred the lines between rap and rock.
BMI Pop Icons, Daryl Hall and John Oates, become the best-selling rock duo of all time, while Roy Orbison joins Elvis Presley as the only singers to ever simultaneously have two top 5 albums on the Billboard charts.
BMI’s first Richard Kirk Award, given to composers who have made significant contributions to the realm of television and film music, is presented to influential composer, Jerry Goldsmith.
2000s
Del Bryant, a BMI songwriter and employee since 1972, becomes the Company’s new President and CEO.
At 15 years old, Taylor Swift signs with BMI. BMI also signs Lady Gaga and Rihanna.
BMI Icon Awards are presented to Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Bo Didley, James Brown, Bill Anderson, Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier and Eddie Holland, Van Morrison, Carlos Santana, Daryl Hall and John Oates.
2010sHaving been employed by BMI since 1994, Mike O’Neill is appointed Chief Executive Officer in 2013. He assumes the additional role of BMI President one year later.
BMI makes tremendous strides on the advocacy front, winning important battles against the Department of Justice to preserve fractional licensing and Pandora to help boost digital streaming rates for creators. BMI also becomes the first music rights organization in the world to deliver over $1 billion in public performance royalties to its affiliates.
#1 global sensation “Despacito” by Luis Fonsi makes Latin music history, and Lil Nas X becomes the artist with the longest-running Billboard Hot 100 #1 in history with "Old Town Road."
"Every Breath You Take," written by Sting and performed by The Police, becomes the most-performed song in BMI's repertoire with 15 million plays.
BMI has been in business for nearly 80 years and continues to be as groundbreaking as ever.
