OUR STORY_

Founded in 2019, The Michigan Music Business Club is the premier music business student organization at the University of Michigan. We continually strive to give our members an exclusive educational experience through immersive speaker events, high-profile concerts, peer-to-peer mentorship, internship recruitment events, and more.

The Ross community believes in change starting at the root of powerful ideas. We enable our members to explore their creative abilities in the music industry while gaining inspiration from the personal connections they form with industry leaders every semester.

At the Ross School of Business, we believe that change requires purpose-driven leaders. Given that music is one of the most rapidly accelerating industries in the world, our members are well-positioned to emerge as industry leaders in just a few years and meaningfully shape the world of music for the better.
