CMG says these new appointments reinforce its “commitment to empowering music creators worldwide”, as it continues to deliver “meaningful products, content, and experiences for music lovers and makers everywhere”.
Le began his career at Swee Lee when Group CEO, Meng Ru Kuok, first took ownership and rose through roles in category management, buying, and product development. Le was also instrumental in the successful relaunch of legendary guitar brand Harmony, and also played a key role in the acquisition and integration of MONO and Heritage Guitars. Le will now collaborate on higher-level strategy and cross-group initiatives.
Also reporting directly to Kuok, Bahr will guide BandLab Technologies’ expanding suite of artist service offerings, which include licensing, distribution, publishing, and broader industry partnerships. He brings extensive experience from Downtown Music Holdings, where he served as Vice President of Business Development & Strategy and cultivated opportunities across operating companies such as CD Baby and FUGA. Prior to Downtown, Bahr spent over a decade at ASCAP, rising to Senior Director of Marketing & Communications.
“I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue to lead and work alongside our dedicated teams at Vista Musical Instruments,” comments Le. “We’ve crossed so many milestones in the last ten years, but there is still so much more to come from our brands and products, and I’m eager to do even more to drive meaningful impact across the division, group and the wider music industry.”
“I couldn’t be more excited to join Meng and the BandLab Technologies team,” adds Bahr. “BandLab Technologies has a thriving at-scale enterprise of creator-focused platforms and best-in-class technology that’s reshaping the way music is created. For the past year, Meng and I have been discussing how to support and build services for the global music business of the future, and I can’t wait to continue that work at an operating level.”
Kuok says both Le and Bahr are “passionate leaders with a wealth of experience”, and adds, “I’m proud to embark on this next chapter with both David and Jon, to strengthen our offerings and continue innovating across the music landscape.”
