The European Music Production Association (EMPA) represents the interests of music producers by offering professional development opportunities, promoting best practices, conducting research and disseminating information, creating a sense of community, providing support and resources, promoting gender equality and fair remuneration in the music industry, organizing events, and fostering international cooperation and collaboration to help members achieve their goals.

Following the EU co-funded gender project, Project first.wave, EMPA was born with a long-term strategy aimed at creating a balanced and fair future for the music production area. While diversity and inclusion remain top priorities, EMPA recognizes the need to address the bigger picture of the industry's current conditions and work towards driving systemic change. Through its activities, EMPA aims to represent and support the interests of music producers, offer professional development opportunities, promote best practices, conduct research and disseminate information, create a sense of community, and foster international cooperation and collaboration. By doing so, EMPA strives to empower music production professionals and facilitate the growth of a more equitable and sustainable industry.

Our mission is to establish a sustainable and inclusive music industry that values the contributions of all music producers and people working gin the music production process, regardless of gender, and ensures their fair and equitable treatment in all aspects of their work.
