WHY are we doing this?

During this difficult economic times and strict lockdown rules it’s not possible for everyone to pay the monthly domain fees and or the once-of website design fees. This gave rise to the concept of creating a “shared domain” under the umbrella of MLI House of Music Directory.

It also makes it possible for Events Managers and or Corporate Companies to find all role-players within the music industry under one roof, MLI House of Music Directory. The benefits are endless and self-explanatory… From songwriters to Bands.

We acknowledge that as a community, it is of utmost importance to support local artists/musicians because, without local citizen support, the art they create through music would cease to make the impact it could make. When we support our local artist community, we are supporting all our respective creative freedom.

Musicians/Artists can enhance the quality of life for a community. It can bring about personal enjoyment, intellectual stimulation while simultaneously providing public involvement.

Not only can it bring a community together, but it can also promote economic growth. It has been argued that having a community with an established form of performing art can bring in the most talented and brightest labor force.
