Jesse Fink Wins Big: Spirit Music Group is thrilled to celebrate one of our own, Jesse Fink, who was honored at the 2025 BMI Pop Awards as a Songwriter and Publisher of the Most-Performed Songs of the Year for not just one—but two standout hits: “Stargazing” by Myles Smith and “I Like the Way You Kiss Me” by Artemas.
Each year, the BMI Pop Awards recognize the most-played songs across terrestrial radio, satellite radio, and digital streaming services. Being awarded in this category is no small feat—it reflects not only the cultural impact of a song but its undeniable connection with audiences around the world. That Jesse played a creative role in two of these chart-topping, genre-defining songs is a testament to his versatility, instinct, and rising influence in modern pop songwriting.
Released earlier this year, “I Like the Way You Kiss Me” became a viral smash for breakout artist Artemas, blending moody alt-pop vibes with a hypnotic hook that captured TikTok and radio listeners alike. Jesse’s work on the track helped craft the song’s haunting yet addictive feel—one that listeners just couldn’t get out of their heads.
“Stargazing”, performed by UK artist Myles Smith, showcased a different side of Jesse’s songwriting. Emotionally rich and sonically expansive, the track struck a chord with audiences around the globe for its poignant lyrics and celestial production. It was a defining moment for Smith—and another shining example of Jesse’s range as a writer and collaborator.
At Spirit Music Group, we’re proud to support songwriters who are shaping the future of music. Jesse Fink’s talent, work ethic, and artistic intuition continue to elevate not only the artists he works with but the industry as a whole. We can’t wait to see what’s next.
Congratulations, Jesse, on this well-deserved recognition. Here’s to many more milestones ahead!
