Launched in summer of 2021, our Earn As You Learn summer internship program placed students with mentors at recording studios, radio stations, retailers, app developers, and Music Columbus where they experience hands on job training.

Compensated at fifteen dollars an hour and with many offers of full-time employment, the stories of these interns have inspired other students and have instilled hope and possibility.

When the future speaks, we listen.

Music Mondays

Our free Music Industry forums feature guests from major labels, international music organizations like Bandcamp and Spotify and massive artists like Nile Rodgers and Juicy J!

Music Mondays is our first step to connect Columbus with the industry at large and give our guest speakers a taste of what our city has to offer!

Watch our previous forums and keep your eyes peeled for upcoming events this year!

Columbus has always had
an abundance of young musicians and music venues. Unfortunately, there are few opportunities for under-age musicians to perform.

To fill this void and help young musicians to develop performance skills, we began an aftenoon all-ages showcase… The Unheard.

Columbus bands or solo artists will be given the opportunity to take the stage in the professional environment of CD 92.9’s
Big Room and perform to an audience of their peers.

Performances will be filmed and each artist will receive a copy for their own promotional use.

Gift of Music Instrument Drive

The Gift of Music Student Instrument Drive is an annual event that benefits Columbus school children throughout the city. In our first three years we have donated over 2,220 instruments to students.
