American Association of Independent Music
The American Association of Independent Music (A2IM) is a trade association that represents independent record labels in the United States. The organization represents the independents’ interests in the marketplace, in the media, on Capitol Hill, and as part of the global music community. A2IM seeks fairness, equity, and transparency for independent music via lobbying, commerce, and member services. The independent music sector comprises over 34.6% of the music industry's market share in the United States (and 40% of SoundScan digital sales).
A2IM is headquartered in New York City. There are also chapters of A2IM located in Nashville, Chicago, Northern California, Southern California, and the Pacific Northwest.
==History==
A2IM launched on July 4, 2005 to represent the needs of the independent music label community. The organization has some 335 independent music label members and 150 associate members (companies who don’t own masters but rely upon, provide services for, or otherwise support independent music labels).
A2IM was preceded by the National Association of Independent Record Distributors (NAIRD). In 1997, the 25th anniversary of the group, it changed its name to the Association for Independent Music (AFIM). As AFIM, the organization was best known for the annual issuing of Indie Awards, recognizing artistic and commercial success among artists signed to independent music labels. These were known as "NAIRD awards" prior to the name change. The AFIM Indie Awards were last issued in 2003, and the organization dissolved in 2004. The name "Indie Award" has since been adopted by the Canadian Music Week convention.
