BMG Rights Management, formerly known as Bertelsmann Music Group, is a global music conglomerate with a rich history in the industry. Originally formed in 1985 as a joint venture between Bertelsmann AG and RCA, BMG has since evolved into a powerhouse of music production and distribution.

In 1986, Bertelsmann acquired full ownership of RCA and Arista Records through the purchase of their joint venture's stock from General Electric. The following year, these labels were merged under the umbrella of Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG), solidifying its position as a major player in the music world.

In 2004, BMG joined forces with Sony Music to create Sony BMG Music Entertainment. However, in 2008, Bertelsmann sold its stake in the company, leading to the formation of BMG Rights Management. Today, BMG continues to thrive as a leading record label and distributor worldwide.

British vocalist and songwriter, Bruce Dickinson, was born on August 07, 1958 in Worksop, Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom. Aside from his successful musical career, he is also known for his diverse range of talents and interests. Not only is he a commercial airplane pilot and screenwriter, but he is also an accomplished fencer, entrepreneur, broadcaster, author, director and actor. With such a multifaceted background, it's no wonder that Dickinson has made a significant impact in the music industry.

Dickinson's influence extends beyond his own work as well. He is the father of singer Austin Dickinson and another talented singer whose name we can't mention here due to formatting restrictions. Additionally, he is the cousin of *Iron Maiden*'s singer Blaze Bayley. As the owner of Duellist Holdings Ltd., Dickinson has proven himself to be not just a performer but also a savvy businessperson.
