What is the Indigenous Music Office (IMO) and who does it support?
We’re here for artists, creators, managers, producers, songwriters, industry professionals, and people working behind the scenes across the music industry. Our work focuses on creating more space, connection, visibility, and opportunity for Indigenous people working in music across the country.
At its core, the IMO is about community. We believe Indigenous voices should continue to shape the future of music, and we work to support that through relationship building, advocacy, mentorship, professional development, and industry collaboration.
