All work done by the GCMIA is done on an entirely
volunteer basis. We have a fabulous team of people who donate their time and
expertise to create these wonderful opportunities for the music industry on
the coast.
The Gold Coast music scene gets bigger and better every year, and the GCMIA aims to assist with forward thinking approaches to coordinating the efforts of local people involved in the music industry. With members ranging from event coordinators, venues and musicians to journalists, music teachers and lawyers, the association aims to assist people on the coast in generating a self-sustaining industry.
With the support of Qmusic and the Gold Coast City Council, the GCMIA hopes to help raise the national and international profile of artists and the music scene throughout the entire Gold Coast, from Coolangatta to Beenleigh.
By supporting GCMIA you are supporting the growth and development of the Gold Coast music industry from the ground up! Check out our membership benefits and our website at www.gcmia.org.au

The life of the GCMIA is the community which it seeks to represent and provide opportunities to. The support of that local community is therefore vital to the success and sustainability of the GCMIA. The Gold Coast Music Industry Association Inc would like to thank the following sponsors for their valued assistance.
GCMIA FEATURE ARTIST
JAC STONE
JaC Stone - Young songwriter, with depth, turns out songs with that thing known as "it". JaC Stone, 18 year old songstress from the Gold Coast in Australia, has that thing MusicLoad.Com likes to call "it". In a subdued, but deliberate sense, JaC tells mostly personal stories that reflect a depth of human nature that the sleepwalkers of the world may never reflect on in their own lives the same way. But with that same sort of infectious flair that her sound has, she may turn on the minds of the deep and the sleepwalkers at the same time. Her guitar playing very tasty. No over or underplaying... Everything with JaC is just right ;) We predict she will break out in due time, like Suzanne Vega did in the early 80's." - Musicload.com
