Dear Sony Music Publishing Songwriters and Composers,

2024 has been an explosive year in music thanks to your exceptional talent and creativity, delighting listeners worldwide. On behalf of our entire team, thank you for trusting us and allowing us to be a part of your journeys.

This year, we’ve focused on expanding and enhancing our support for you. From technology advancements to growing collaboration opportunities, we’ve refined our services to fit your needs today and tomorrow.

A highlight this year has been the growth of our creative resources, including the opening of our new workspace and songwriting hub in Los Angeles. With five writer studios, six listening rooms, and a state-of-the-art recording studio featuring two independent recording booths and an artist lounge, we’ve built a space that supports every step of the creative process.

In 2025, we’ll keep growing with you, focusing on innovating our creative and administration capabilities, strengthening our community, and extending our global support network.

As we welcome this new year, I look forward to celebrating the amazing music you’ll create. Wishing you all a joyful holiday season. See you in 2025!
