Cincinnati Music Accelerator

Cincinnati Music Accelerator (CMA) is Ohio’s first music career accelerator organization focused on making Cincinnati a music city through job placement and education. Within 4 years, CMA has impacted the Cincinnati region through dedicated and focused development of music creatives within the community it serves. CMA was founded by Cincinnati native, Kick Lee, as a People’s Liberty project in 2017. Since then, hundreds of musical entrepreneurs have been supported within the region. CMA continues to support the community through programs such as The Street Stage Project (SSP), in partnership with Cincinnati Center City Development Corp. (3CDC), bringing music to the streets of the Central Business District and Over-The-Rhine, the CMA Mobile Stage trailer used for activates in various communities in the region, highlighting local musicians, the Music Business Academy which educates and empowers emerging musicians, DJs, Producers, Music Managers, or anyone looking to bolster their music education.
