Our Story
How We Started
In late Fall of 2023, the Colorado Music Industry Alliance founders noticed that while a vast number of people and organizations were working to boost Colorado’s music industry in a positive way, they were all approaching their shared goal in different ways. CMIA was created to connect all these micro-communities, including musicians, artists, venues, radio stations, and other music industry professionals, so that we may use our collective power to achieve concrete results.
Our founders started the conversations over 9 months ago, and as of Summer 2024, we are excited to officially launch CMIA with a strong group of industry professionals, artists, and additional stakeholders making up our Board of Directors and Advisory Board.
