BMG Production Music has expanded into Southeast Asia with several key executive appointments, adding an eighth office to its growing global presence.
Newly dedicated operations in Hong Kong and Singapore join existing offices in US, UK, Germany, France, Netherlands, and Australia (covering Asia-Pacific).
Andy Wong has joined BMGPM to lead the production music team in Hong Kong as Director of Business Development (Asia).
A well-known and highly regarded 20+ year industry veteran, Wong previously served as Regional General Manager at Universal Production Music Asia.
He brings a number of executives from his previous company — Aiden Chan has been appointed Manager (Hong Kong), while Wesley Chan is Junior Account Manager / Music Supervisor.
In Singapore, Jeff Long joins BMGPM as Manager (Singapore, Malaysia) after previously serving in the same post at Universal Production Music Asia.
“It is an honour to be granted the opportunity to run the fastest-growing production music company in Asia.
“I’m fortunate to have such an exceptional team, along with ongoing support and backing from the BMGPM management team.”

Andrew Jones, VP Production Music, Asia Pacific, to whom Wong reports, said: “We’re thrilled to have talents like Andy, Jeff, Aiden, and Wesley joining the BMGPM team.
“They bring enormous experience, knowledge, and creativity. Without a doubt, they are four of the very best.
“I look forward to working with them to help make BMGPM the first choice for Asia’s ever-evolving media and production communities.”
Geert-Willem Koolhof, Global Managing Director BMG Production Music, said, “Asia is a key market, and with Andy, Aiden and Wesley joining us in Hong Kong and Jeff in Singapore we have made another important step in building our international business with local presence with strong, experienced local teams in all the key territories.”
Based in BMG’s Sydney offices, Jones – the founder of Australia production music house Big Bang & Fuzz – joined the company in April following its acquisition by BMGPM.
BMG officially launched BMG Production Music in 2017, bridging together its interests in one-stop, pre-cleared and custom production music services, including MusicDIRECTOR in the Benelux, Los Angeles-based Selectracks, Music Beyond and X-Ray Dog, as well as London-based Beds & Beats and Altitude Music.
