About us
🎯 MISSION
We bring Austin's music producers together. Through meetups, workshops, and collaborations, producers of every genre and experience level find their people, sharpen their craft, and support one another. Our goal is a lasting community for those behind the city's sound.
📜 HISTORY
Austin Producer Alliance was founded in May 2022 by Kevin Huang and Kyle Henderson to build the city's foremost community for music producers. What began as a Discord server grew into a recurring meetup at the Austin Central Library, then into a collective in partnership with longtime sponsor STATION Austin (formerly Capital Factory). To date, APA has welcomed more than 1,000 producers and creatives to its events.
