Feldman Retiring From BMI
Mike O’Neill, President & CEO of BMI, said, “I have had the privilege to work with Charlie for the past 25 years and can say without a doubt that he has the heart and soul of a songwriter. Charlie’s love for the profession of songwriting is evident in all he does, and his contributions have truly enriched the world of music. I want to thank Charlie for all he has done for our company, as well as his guidance and support of me over the years. He will be missed by everyone at BMI, and we are grateful that he will continue to serve as a consultant for us while we work through this transition.”
Feldman joined BMI in 1988 and has held various roles of increasing responsibility in the company’s Creative department. His many accomplishments include helping to establish BMI’s presence at many of the country’s most well-known music festivals and stages, such as SXSW and Lollapalooza, and he was also BMI’s liaison with many of the industry’s most important organizations, serving as a trustee and past President of the New York Chapter of The Recording Academy and a board member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame, among others.
