KXAN Spotlight: Austin Musicians Are Fighting for the Future of Human Creativity

Artificial intelligence is transforming the music industry—but who is protecting the artists whose work powers these systems?

In a recent KXAN interview, Austin musicians shared concerns about AI, artist rights, copyright protections, and the future of human creativity. These conversations are happening now, and independent musicians deserve a seat at the table.

ATXM is working to ensure artists are represented in local, state, and national discussions surrounding AI, music licensing, compensation, and creator protections.

On June 4, 1919, Congress passed the 19th Amendment, taking a historic step toward securing women’s right to vote in the United States.

The suffragists who came before us organized, marched, protested, and persevered for decades to make their voices heard. Their victory was a powerful reminder that progress is never simply given—it is won through courage, persistence, and collective action.

Today, we honor the women who fought for this fundamental right and recommit ourselves to protecting and expanding democracy for future generations. Voting rights, equality, and representation remain worth fighting for.

As we celebrate this milestone, let’s remember: the work is not finished. The torch has been passed to us.

Why Austin Musicians Should Be Paying Attention to the City's Contract Oversight Review

The Austin Live Music Fund represents a significant investment in the city's music community, but funding alone isn't enough.

As City Council examines contract oversight and grant administration practices, musicians, venues, and industry professionals have an opportunity to better understand how public arts funding is managed—and why transparency, accountability, and effective oversight are essential to protecting the future of Austin's music ecosystem.
