History

Our history began in 1896 when musicians gathered in Indianapolis and organized the American Federation of Musicians (AFM) for “any musician who receives pay for his musical services.” Representing 3,000 members, AFM was granted a charter by the American Federation of Labor (AFL). Now we are 80,000 musicians strong.

Industry continues reaping huge profits while technological advances transform our work and how we are compensated. But we have tremendous power—musicians just have to organize and use our power.
