Why Uplift Music?
Why Uplift Music?
Daniel Blomberg has been working with hundreds of musicians to make their inspiration a reality. Once the music is created, the next step is for others to enjoy re-creating by learning and performing the new music.
While some people can hear a song and then play it, most people need sheet music to do this.
Music needs to be affordable so that you can keep creating without breaking copyright laws.
We get that whether you are a trained musician or just someone who loves music, you want to find music that resonates with your soul. You want to lose yourself in the music as well as fill the world with the glorious expression that can only happen in music. You want both music that is familiar and new! That is why we started our sheet music store. It is for you! Because we get you.
Message from the Blombergs
With a company mission to flood the Earth with God’s music, we need all creators to have access to more good music. And we are doing it in the most affordable way we can.
We want it to be possible for you to buy the music, and for the creators to be honored for their work and have the means to keep creating new music too.
We hope that you enjoy singing or playing many different songs available in our store. Let the messages and expressive music fill your soul and those who you perform for!
Go with God!
Kathryn & Daniel
Daniel and Kathryn’s Musical Backstory
Daniel is a professional arranger, producer and performer. He was trained both in Sweden and the United States. His first lessons were from his mother as she taught him how to pick out different parts that he heard on the LPs, and play them on the piano.
He began private instruction in drums, and then keyboards. As a young teenager, his lessons expanded to sequencing (recording multiple tracks). His training was contemporary music and his favorite was (and is) 80s rock.
Daniel attended a music high school in Malmo, Sweden, and did a semester at the Malmo Music Academy after high school. He joined the BYU Media Music program (now Commercial Music) at 21 years old. He refined his skill set and really learned how to blend the spiritual into his music. (Also at BYU, he met his wife Kathryn, where part of their courtship was during the daily 10-minute break between Women’s Chorus and Concert Choir.)
Daniel credits his time at BYU as setting him up with a network of key players that have been instrumental as he became a full-time music producer. His background has enabled him to bring both fresh and intuitive help to his clients as they make their vision become powerful musical reality.
Kathryn grew up with limited musical opportunities. She was always singing at home. She joined church and school choirs, but had no private training. She taught herself to play the piano so she could play the music she was singing in choir.
At 15 years old a skilled pianist offered Kathryn lessons in exchange for work. She worked to unlearn bad habits and create a habit of practicing music for lessons, at the same time as balancing an increasingly busy high school schedule. Sundays became the day she would sing and play for hours. She became familiar with Latter-day Saint hymns, Primary songs, and contemporary music. Besides the hymn and Primary song books, most of her sheet music was borrowed from her best friend’s family library or her piano teacher.
Performing in school audition choirs increased her skills. Kathryn sang solos at church functions as often as she could, but felt limited in her opportunities. This changed at BYU, where Kathryn was excited that her music minor meant that she “had to take voice lessons.” She also thrilled at the many choral opportunities, starting with University Chorale. Kathryn subsequently joined the Baroque Choir and later made it into Women’s Chorus two years and then Concert Choir.
Kathryn wasn’t looking for a relationship until she sang a spontaneous duet with Daniel (as he played) “All I Ask of You” one Friday night. She decided to rethink her priorities. During that semester, she fell in love with Daniel because of his sense of mission. Music and the Gospel were hugely important to both of them. But they felt pulled away from music as Daniel was finishing his BA, and the next 10 years saw them doing other things. Even with this, they found many opportunities to make music together, loving the thrill of even spontaneous performances.
In 23 years of marriage, God has led them around the world and through a few careers. In 2015, God started nudging them that they needed to get back into music. It took a few tries and another career change to figure out what that meant. In 2018, Blomberg Music Productions began as Daniel reconnected with some of his fellow BYU Media Music students.
Both Daniel and Kathryn feel strongly that flooding the Earth with inspiring (often religious) music is the perfect blend of their passions and skills and sense of mission. Initially, Kathryn played a solely strategic role in the company as Daniel helped other musicians achieve their vision. As the company’s reach expanded, the needs and opportunities for both have also increased.
As newlyweds, Kathryn remembers people asking for copies of Daniel’s arrangements. As a musician who depends on sheet music, she understood why they would want the expressive music in sheet music form - it was the only way they could create the music. The problem was that as long as Daniel had another career (and his family and church work), he didn’t have time to put the music into sheet music form. Since he can play from his heart and vast understanding of theory, he doesn’t have the same need.
With several years of full-time music behind them, the company started actively branching into sheet music creation in 2024. (Kathryn has been cheering during the entire process!) Uplift Music, which opened in October 2025, is a place where Daniel’s own arrangements and his clients’ songs are available to the world. Now the music can be shared again and again and again.
