Music Managers Forum

The MMF are the world’s largest professional community of music managers.

Since its inception in 1992, the MMF has worked hard to educate, inform and represent UK managers as well as offering a network through which managers can share experiences, opportunities and information.

Our membership stands at over 500 managers based in the UK with global businesses and a wider network of over 2700 managers in the USA.

The MMF’s purpose is to:

  • Educate: We support managers’ continuous professional development within an evolving music industry.
  • Innovate: We create and highlight opportunities to develop and grow artist businesses.
  • Advocate: We provide a collective voice and leadership to affect change for a transparent and fairer music industry for artists and their fans.

The MMF engages, advises and lobbies industry associates and wider industry on issues that are relevant to managers. We continue to recruit members and grow our network so we are truly representative of the wider management community.
