VIsion Statement
“UMD exists to build a global network where artists thrive, culture flourishes, and business serves community, not the other way around.
We create intimate music experiences in hospitality venues , connecting local scenes through transparent collaboration. Every artist we book, every venue we partner with, and every brand we work with contributes to a sustainable ecosystem that prioritizes creative development over profit extraction.
As we transition to non-profit status, we invite venues, artists, promoters, brands, and corporate partners to join us in proving that ethical business isn't just possible, it's more powerful than exploitation.”
Thoughts on
Community
“because of the internet” the way humanity consumes and regurgitates information has drastically changed within the last 20+ years. Social media is no long social, but a space only for media to be consumed. The basic need for social interaction has been replaced with short form videos that we swipe as soon as our attention is not grabbed.
In the west, this is reflective in our relationships, and how we are quick to move towards “high aura” events, venues and activities, only to impress our digital viewers, as opposed to than being present to engage with those around us in the moment, to hear people’s stories and in turn share ours.
Are we the solution for this, by all means “naur”, the spaces we create are just a bunch of broken people drawn together for the love of music and discovering new style and expressions. Everyone is welcome, and assholes are not. So feel free to see if the visit the events, and see if its for you …
“Allow the art to inspire you to find who you really are.”
