In a landmark partnership, Dolby and Universal Music Group (UMG), the world leader in music-based entertainment, are working together to bring this immersive music experience to artists and fans around the world. 

 

Dolby and UMG are unlocking new dimensions of music appreciation by creating thousands of songs transformed in Dolby Atmos from a diverse list of artists across a wide range of genres, from hip-hop, pop, and rock through jazz and classical music.
