Realize Music Inc. has partnered with Universal Music Group (UMG) and Warner Music Group (WMG) to launch Realize Music: Sing, a VR self-care singing app launching exclusively on Meta Quest on January 23, 2025.

The app combines entertainment and wellness through immersive audio-visual experiences, designed to reduce stress, promote relaxation, and release endorphins. Users can access over one million songs across all genres, with new music added weekly. Subscriptions will cost $9.99 monthly or $99 annually.

Key Features:

• Dynamic visuals that respond to singing
• Lyric visualization with interactive visual effects
• Continuously expanding music library
• Private, judgment-free singing environment

The company is led by Mike Wilson, celebrated producer and mental health advocate, alongside CEO Mark Roemer, who brings 20+ years of industry expertise. The team includes veterans from Sony, Meta, Rockstar Games, and Guitar Hero.

Future Development:

• Planned releases for Apple, Samsung, and Sony PSVR2
• Adaptations for mobile, PC/Mac, and Smart TV platforms

"Fear of judgment keeps more than 80% of people from enjoying one of the oldest human traditions," notes Wilson. "Singing has well-documented physiological and psychological benefits in music wellness."

Bryan Stone, UMG's Senior VP of Business Development, emphasizes their commitment to innovative health and wellness platforms, while WMG's Allan Coye highlights how this partnership creates unique opportunities for artists to connect with fans through wellness-focused experiences.
