Disney Music Group, also known as DMG and Buena Vista Music Group, is a privately owned subsidiary of Walt Disney Studios, headquartered at the historic Walt Disney Studios lot in Burbank, California. Founded in 1998, initially as Buena Vista Music Group before rebranding to its current name in 2007, the company employs approximately 620 individuals and reported $220.5M in revenue as of 2025. Its main product is content rights. The division functions as the centralized music recording, publishing, and live concert production arm of The Walt Disney Company, operating as a specialized internal entertainment and intellectual property network that consolidates the corporation's sonic portfolio under a unified commercial structure. DMG encompasses primary recording imprints such as Walt Disney Records, Hollywood Records, and S-Curve Records, alongside Disney Music Publishing, which administers the global copyrights of scores, songs, and instrumental themes generated across the parent conglomerate's entire multi-media catalog.
On September 18, 2026, The Walt Disney Company appointed Adam Smith, who joined the company in 2024, as chairman of its streaming business, entrusting him with overseeing strategy and development across Disney's global entertainment subscription video-on-demand, proprietary advertising technology, and emerging technologies. This move aligns with Disney's strategy to strengthen its focus on direct-to-consumer platforms like Disney+ and Hulu. Earlier on the same day, Eric Schrier stepped down from his role as head of direct-to-consumer international originals after more than 25 years with the company, transitioning to a production deal amid a wider shake-up in Disney’s streaming division, which included Adam Smith's promotion. Previously, on September 18, the company appointed Terry Tsai to lead direct-to-consumer marketing across Asia-Pacific, with Tsai taking up the Tokyo-based vice president role responsible for Disney+'s regional marketing strategy, growth, and partner marketing operations.
