The
San Diego Independent Musicians Group
supports individual and organizational efforts to educate,
promote and otherwise provide for the writing, performing and
recording of original
music by San Diego County artists.
Our primary
goal is based on the idea that local music is an expression of
our local society, our communities as well as a reflection
of who and where we are in the world.
- We believe
we each have an inalienable human right to express ourselves
through music.
- We believe
in a community effort to assist those that choose to use
music as their form of expression.
- We believe
our local music is important enough to our community and
the world, that local media should provide more coverage
of local music news and events.
- We believe
that local musicians are a valuable asset to our communities
and should be fairly compensated for their work.
Our secondary
goal is based on the idea that the business of music - the mechanics
of performing, recording, promoting and otherwise delivering
original music to an audience - is rapidly changing with computer
technology and the Internet.
- We believe
in the proper use of available technology to further each
of our musical goals.
- We believe
in "lending a hand" to those that may need it from time to
time.
- We believe
in the promotion of local music whenever and wherever possible.
- We believe
that music, local and otherwise, is intended to be heard.
We believe in finding ways for local music to be heard by
the public and media at large.
- We believe
that by supporting these groups, we support ourselves.
