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 application launching exclusively on Meta Quest on January 23, 2025.

The app combines entertainment with 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. The subscription will cost $9.99 monthly or $99 annually.

Key Features:

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

The company is led by video game producer Mike Wilson (Devolver Digital) and CEO Mark Roemer, alongside veterans from Sony, Meta, Rockstar Games, and Guitar Hero. Future versions are planned for Apple, Samsung, Sony PSVR2, mobile, PC/Mac, and Smart TV platforms.

According to Wilson, "Singing has perhaps the most well-documented physiological and psychological benefits in the burgeoning new science of music for wellness."

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

Expected benefits:

• Stress reduction
• Improved relaxation
• Enhanced mood through endorphin release

This collaboration marks a significant step in combining music entertainment with mental health and wellness technology, making therapeutic singing accessible to everyone in a private, immersive environment.
