Who we are

African creativity.
Greater opportunity.

The African Union of Music (AUOM) is a music and creative-services company built around a simple belief: African talent deserves opportunities to create, learn, connect with audiences and earn from its work.

Through our online music marketplace, recording services, music academy, equipment business and other creative ventures, we aim to connect the people, skills and services that help music thrive.

Our story

More than a music platform

AUOM brings together music, technology, creative education and supporting services to help build a stronger environment for African creativity.

The African Union of Music was established around the idea of giving music creators more control over how they share their work and develop income opportunities.

Our online platform provides a space where artists can offer their music directly to fans. We also welcome DJs who want to share their mixes and producers who want to make their beats available to potential buyers.

Beyond the marketplace, AUOM's wider business activities include recording and audio production, music training, recording equipment, advertising, brand representation and events.

Our ambition is to support the music journey from learning and creating, to reaching an audience and developing a sustainable creative business.

The AUOM approach

Put creators at the centre of the music economy.

We believe music should create opportunities for the people who make it. Our direct-purchase model gives fans a way to buy music from creators and provides artists with a route to earn from eligible purchases, subject to the platform's applicable terms and fees.
