“There is a magnetic relationship between music and community building. We are excited to bring that to life on Facebook, Instagram, Oculus and Messenger in partnership with UMG," said Tamara Hrivnak, Facebook's Head of Music Business Development and Partnerships. "Music lovers, artists and writers will all be right at home as we open up creativity, connection and innovation through music and video.”

UMG's Executive Vice President of Digital Strategy, Michael Nash added, "This partnership is an important first step demonstrating that innovation and fair compensation for music creators are mutually reinforcing — they thrive together. We look forward to Facebook becoming a significant contributor to a healthy ecosystem for music that will benefit artists, fans and all those who invest in bringing great music to the world.”
