Advocating on Behalf of the Music Community is Core to Our Company

As one of the world’s most regulated art forms, it is imperative that the business of songwriting is built on collaboration. Advocacy is an essential component of improving the livelihood of our songwriters. To that end, Downtown is involved in internal and external initiatives that help shape the future of the music industry by fostering a business environment that furthers both creative and financial success.
