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.

Joan Armatrading is a British singer, songwriter, and guitarist born on December 9, 1950 in Basseterre, Saint Kitts and Nevis. She moved to Birmingham, England with her family in 1957 and later relocated to London in the early 1970s to pursue her musical career. With two Brit award nominations for best female vocalist and an Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Contemporary Song Collection in 1996, Armatrading has established herself as a highly acclaimed artist.

In addition to her accolades, Armatrading has been nominated three times for a Grammy Award. Notably, she became the first UK female artist to receive a Grammy nomination in the Blues category for her album "Into The Blues" released in 2007. Her contributions to music were recognized further when she was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in 2001.

Armatrading's talent extends beyond performing as she owns Bumpkin Studios, a recording facility located at her home in Surrey. This purpose-built studio has been instrumental in producing most of her albums since "Sleight of Hand". Additionally, Armatrading was part of Cyndi Lauper's "True Colors" Tour in 2008.

One of Britain’s great singer songwriters, Joan Armatrading, celebrates 50 years in music this year with the release of the album Live at Asylum Chapel.

The BBC recently honoured Joan with a special screening of the show, which was streamed worldwide during lockdown last year for one night only, followed by the documentary about her life and career - ‘Me Myself I’.

The concert, from south London’s historic Asylum Chapel, features some of Joan’s most famous songs from her 50 year career, with ‘Drop The Pilot’, ‘The Weakness In Me’, ‘Me Myself I’ and ‘Willow’ sounding as vital as ever performed live.&nbsp; In addition, songs from her latest and acclaimed Top 10 studio album Consequences are given their live debut - ‘Natural Rhythm’, ‘Consequences’, ‘Already There’, ‘Better Life’,&nbsp; ‘Glorious Madness’ and ‘To Anyone Who Will Listen’.
