BMI’s London Office Hosts “Speed Dating for Songwriters”

2026 started off on an exciting note as the BMI London Creative team hosted another lively edition of “Speed Dating for Songwriters®” on January 27. The program is designed to foster creative collaboration among a handpicked group of talented songwriters, producers, and artists, with promising careers ahead, who are selected by BMI’s Creative executives. For this edition, participants included David Dyson, S.A.M, Elz Baby, Hibachi, Felix Green, Jon Miller (Director of Creative Europe), JUILS, Kylie Price, Anu Gantumur (Executive of Creative Europe), Austel, Laurie, Helene Frosta, Josh Kye, and Dom Anca.

“Speed Dating for Songwriters®” originated in New York to encourage collaboration and networking among songwriters, producers and artists who may not have otherwise met, while also providing community among creators. The successful program gradually expanded, over the past 10 years, to BMI’s offices in Nashville, Los Angeles, and London, where it is now a quarterly event. Many “Speed Dating” alumni have attested to sustaining the bonds and musical partnerships they first forged via the program.
