615 Music celebrated its 20th anniversary in New York City at the 2004 PROMAX & BDA Conference (June 23-25, 2004). Commenting on the company's achievement, president/CEO Randy Wachtler said, “Twenty years? It certainly doesn't seem that long! Getting to work with some of the greats in broadcasting and being recognized as a leader in our field has been gratifying for me personally and our great staff. There's been tremendous change in our business with all the new technology. I have no doubt that trend will continue. The part that won't change is writing memorable music. It all starts with writing great melodies that touch people. That's the part I love and really why I'm in this business. I'm looking forward to the next musically fun 20 years.”

To celebrate the anniversary, the company created a DVD in which music luminaries, including Alan Parsons (pictured), offered their “Happy Birthdays.”
