Participate As Universal Music Group and DGMC Create a Vibrant Music City in the Middle East




In a groundbreaking move set to reshape the music landscape of the Middle East, Universal Music Group (UMG) has embarked on a strategic partnership with Dubai Global Music City (DGMC) to establish the region's inaugural 'Music City'. This collaboration not only marks a significant milestone for the music industry but also underscores the growing cultural significance of the Middle East in the global entertainment arena.


The ambitious project, spearheaded by UMG and DGMC, envisions the creation of a dynamic hub dedicated to nurturing musical talent, fostering creativity, and celebrating the rich tapestry of sounds and voices that define the region. At the heart of this endeavor lies the establishment of the Middle East's first-ever Music City, set against the vibrant backdrop of the United Arab Emirates.


A standout feature of this innovative initiative is the inclusion of the renowned Capitol Studios, a revered institution synonymous with musical excellence and innovation, which will find its first-ever outpost outside of Hollywood in the Middle East.



The Music City will serve as a melting pot of artistic expression, boasting state-of-the-art recording studios, educational academies, and collaborative spaces designed to inspire the next generation of musicians and industry professionals. By providing a platform for local talent to thrive and innovate, the project aims to elevate the Middle East onto the global stage while preserving its rich cultural heritage.

Moreover, the strategic partnership between UMG and DGMC will give rise to a new joint venture label dedicated to discovering, nurturing, and promoting emerging talent from the region. This venture reflects a shared commitment to diversity, inclusion, and the empowerment of artists, ensuring that voices from the Middle East are heard and celebrated on a global scale.


In addition to UMG and DGMC's pioneering efforts, other major players in the music industry have also recognized the immense potential of the Middle East as a burgeoning market for creative expression and innovation. Warner Chappell and Sony Music have expressed keen interest in contributing to the region's burgeoning music scene, further amplifying the momentum generated by UMG and DGMC's visionary partnership.
