Sounds Australia is proud to be recognised via APRA AMCOS’s nomination in the NSW Export Awards and have Australian music acknowledged as one of the country’s great export success stories.
As Australia’s national music export office, we build pathways into global markets and create long-term trade outcomes for Australian music. Through showcases and trade missions, global networking, professional development, digital initiatives and inbound programs, we work to create sustainable export opportunities for Australian artists and the businesses that support them.
Australia is one of the world’s leading music-exporting nations. Alongside industries such as food, agriculture, wine and tourism, music is a powerful export, generating economic value, creating jobs, strengthening international relationships and sharing Australian voices and stories with the world.
This recognition belongs to the artists, managers, crew, labels, publishers, agents, venues, festivals and music businesses taking Australian music to the world, and to our partners across government and industry, Music Australia, APRA AMCOS, ARIA, PPCA, Sound NSW and the South Australian Music Development Office, whose support makes this work possible.
