Seattle is a city rich in music history, supporting a thriving industry that is renowned nationally and globally. The diversity of opportunities is extraordinary; from radio and online broadcasting, recording studios, film scoring, soundtracks, and licensing, to clubs, bands, venues and music labels, as well as major for-profit and not-for-profit corporations. The City of Seattle is dedicated to supporting and growing the industry, and in 2008 launched a specialized technical assistance program for nightlife businesses, housed in the Seattle Office of Economic Development. Whether you are looking to take the stage yourself, work behind the scenes, build a company, or simply enjoy the vibrant culture all around you, Seattle is the City of Music.
