Sony Music Publishing has announced the opening of its new office space and creative hub for songwriters in Los Angeles. The location is located just minutes away from the newly revitalized Vinyl District in Hollywood.
The new SMP office space is in a beautifully re-imagined century-old building, customized from the ground up to elevate the creative experience. The design reflects Sony Music Publishing’s enduring legacy while embracing a modern vision as the premier service company for the world’s most impactful songwriters and composers. The design was achieved in close collaboration with renowned studio architects WSDG and the innovative design collective RIOS.
The new creative and songwriting hub boasts five dedicated writer studios, six listening rooms, as well as a state-of-the-art recording studio with two independent recording booths and an artist lounge. Each creative suite maximizes acoustic performance and is equipped with cutting-edge systems and production gear. The creative suites are alongside collaborative office and social areas to promote engagement between creators and staff.
“Our focus has been on creating environments that nurture the talent, vision, and goals of our songwriters and people,” says Sony Music Publishing Chairman & CEO Jon Platt. “Our aim was to build a space that supports songwriters every step of the way, welcomes creators, and supports their needs. I am exceptionally proud of what we have built as a team.”
The landmark expansion is part of Sony Music Publishing’s ongoing efforts to extend support for its songwriters worldwide. Recent developments and enhancements have also been accomplishes across multiple territories, including the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Canada, Nashville, Spain, Colombia, Sweden, South Africa, India, and more.
Earlier this year, SMP moved its Nashville headquarters to Music Row’s 17th + Grand office space. SMP leased 24,000 square feet of the building located at 1005 17th Avenue S in Nashville.
