Family in Music is a new music creator accelerator. We educate, elevate and motivate by offering the tools, knowhow and technology, all in one place.
There’s more new music being written and released worldwide today than ever before and it’s growing. This has created a rapidly expanding group of new independent creators who often don’t fit the existing structures of the industry and who’s needs are mostly unmet or underserved.
That’s why Family In Music are building a new creator network, which offers the knowhow, connections, opportunities, distribution, release workflows, campaign monitoring, analytics, song title validation and registering, radio play monitoring, daily payments, royalty advancements and more to come.
All in one place.

AWESOME MERCH
WE ARE AWESOME MERCH.
We make custom merchandise for all kinds of people, with over 1000+ products made in house. T-shirts for bands, stickers for artists, banners for events, and plenty more. Yet our beginnings were humble. Accidental, even. In 2005, Luke, our unsuspecting founder, began making badges so he could get through uni without doing a proper job. So awesome were Luke’s badges that one day, he got an order for 80,000. So he quit uni and made more stuff.
The rest, as they say, is Awesome.
