BMI Launches Founders Award Internship Program

Martin Smith Signs With First Company Management

Martin Smith (R) and First Company Management’s Mike McCloskey.

Martin Smith has signed with the First Company Management family under the representation of general manager Mike McCloskey. “Martin’s an extraordinary leader and foremost a pioneer of our time—of artistry inside and outside the Church and the modern worship movement,” said McCloskey. “It’s our honor and privilege to partner with him in stewarding all that’s ahead in this season of new music.” Smith’s first live album, Love Song For A City: Live Worship From Around The Globe, bowed last year from Integrity Music, and his full-length studio set is due in May.
