RAW Music is an NGO founded in 2018 by the team organising the Mastering the Music Business (MMB) international conference in Romania. MMB quickly became the most important conference dedicated to the music industry in Romania and one of the most relevant professional events in this industry in Europe. In addition to the annual editions of the conference, we organise workshops (about music and instruments, music production, music industry, etc.).

RAW Music also worked as an export office for Romanian artists, facilitating the establishment of links between Western territories and Central and Eastern European countries and the access of Romanian musicians to major European showcase festivals, such as ESNS, ESNS, Reeperbahn, Nouvelle Prague, MENT, Live at Heart, Future Echoes, Tallin Music Week, So Alive, Athens Music Week or BUSH but also to iconic festivals such as Glastonbury, Sziget and Exit. As a result, from 2023 it became a member of the European association of music export offices, European Music Exporters Exchange (EMEE).

RAW Music’s main objectives are:

1. supporting and promoting the interests of the music industry in Romania
2. providing members of the music industry with information, data and analysis regarding its evolution, both locally and internationally, by organizing courses, conferences and seminars/workshops as well as publishing specialized articles and books.
3. providing logistical and financial support to artists and entrepreneurs in the music industry in Romania in order to promote Romanian music and artists internationally
4. supporting, organizing and promoting social and cultural values ​​and especially cultural values ​​in the field of music
5. promoting and developing universal cultural values, discovering and supporting young talents in the field of music, supporting artists working in this field, promoting musical values ​​among the population.
