The Burbank based independent production music library led by owners Mitch Lijewski and Tim Stithem contains over 4,000 tracks, and is focused on providing compositions for film, television and other forms of media, such as video games.
Under the the terms of the acquisition, the X-Ray Dog staff and Lijewski will join BMG's LA office. Lijewski will now serve as SVP, BMG Production Music North America, and will oversee the company's production music activities in the US.
