Leader in Global Fandom Platforms, bemyfriends, Combines Forces with MY.MUSIC, Leader in Music Identity Technologies, to Launch Transformative Artist-First Fan Engagement Service
September 9, 2025
MY.MUSIC, a global leader in music identity technology and infrastructure, is proud to announce a groundbreaking partnership with bemyfriends, a leading provider of global fandom services and engagement solutions.
This collaboration marks a pivotal milestone for the Artist-First movement in the music industry. Together, MY.MUSIC and bemyfriends will deliver next-generation fan engagement tools that empower artists with true ownership of their fan relationships and, critically, control over the data generated through those connections.
At the core of this Artist-First solution is the .MUSIC ID — the industry’s universal, neutral, and artist-owned identifier — ensuring that artists remain in control of their identity, audience, and music by accessing powerful and scalable tools, apps, and solutions.
“bemyfriends’ fandom technology is not only innovative and powerful, but also deeply aligned with our Artist-First vision,” said Peter Lee, CEO of MY.MUSIC. “We seek partners who deliver top-tier innovation and who, in their own right, are already reaching, supporting, and building Artist-First technologies and services.”
The new service will be available exclusively to those with a .MUSIC ID (a registered .MUSIC domain name) and at FANDOM.MUSIC. With the integrated bemyfriends platform, b.stage, artists can customize, connect, engage, and monetize their fan relationships like never before offering membership services, merchandise sales, content provision, community management, and pop-up store operations.
More than 300 clients worldwide and over 900 artists use b.stage to engage with their fans through its end-to-end fandom business solutions. bemyfriends has established a proven global track record through partnerships with Sony Music India for I-POP group W.i.S.H., Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez, and R&B artist Ne-Yo
“At bemyfriends, our vision has always been to create a fandom platform that truly empowers artists and creators,” said Steve Seo, Co-CEO of bemyfriends. “MY.MUSIC is the perfect partner because we share the same Artist-First mission, and I’m excited to work together to help shape this bright future.”
