Music Export Memphis

Music Export Memphis was founded on two core beliefs. First: music makes cities better. It drives economic development, it attracts new talent, it creates vibrant communities. Second: musicians choose to live in cities where there are opportunities. In Memphis, we’re lucky to have an incredibly rich musical heritage and a low cost of living, two things that attract artists to move here. We believe that opportunities – like those available through Music Export Memphis – are a key element to keeping them here. And when they stay, our city – everyone in our city, not just those in the music community – stands to benefit.

We are a nonprofit export office for Memphis music. We create opportunities for Memphis artists to showcase their music outside the city, building their careers and building our city’s international reputation as a music mecca.
