Free Music Archive (FMA) offers free access to open licensed, original music by independent artists around the world. Tens of millions of online visitors roam the FMA catalogue each month to find and download original songs for personal use or featured tracks in media projects. Tracks on FMA are featured in countless videos, podcasts, films, games, apps, commercials, documentaries, and more!
Powered by Tribe of Noise, together with Creative Commons licences, FMA provides sustainable online spaces for artists and listeners to harness the potential of music sharing. Every FMA artist will have their own digital hub to publish their original songs, be discovered by countless media makers, and have the space to share where FMA visitors can purchase their works. To increase the value of music sharing, FMA visitors can compensate artists directly, when possible, with the different monetization models each FMA artists are able to enable on their artist page.
FMA is also home to Netlabels and Curators, assisting and boosting support for FMA Artists. Free Music Archive combines the curatorial approach that these organizations have played for the last few decades, with the community-generated approach of current online music sites. A collaboration between artists, curators, netlabels, filmmakers, radio stations, venues, artist collectives, museums, music festivals, and more.
