Specialties

The Musicians Association of Hawaii (MAH) represents professional musicians in the State of Hawaii and belongs to the greater family known as the American Federation of Musicians, uniting music professionals from all of the United States and Canada.

MAH serves musicians of all genres, from jazz to Jawaiian, to classical, pop, rock, indie and other contemporary styles. We represent musicians live in concert as well as in performances broadcast via radio, television and the Internet, and recorded on CDs, film and other media.

MAH helps musicians negotiate fair contracts, enforce those contracts, obtain affordable insurance for themselves and their instruments, and protect their interests in today’s rapidly changing entertainment industry. Through collective bargaining we help secure better pay, better working conditions, job security, pension and disability benefits. Our organization is run by musicians for musicians.

History

Established in 1923.

The Musicians’ Association of Hawai’i is here to help musicians thrive, and to ensure that a fair share of profits from the multi-​billion dollar entertainment industry goes to the people who make the music. It’s what we do.
