OUR STORY

IMB School - IMB Festival 2019 - Students Working 4 - Google

IMB School was born in Barcelona (Spain) at the end of 2015. It was founded by David Loscos and Jaume Colomer with a clear purpose: to create the first international school specialising in the music business.

David comes from the world of major record labels and, since 2004, has been dedicated to training professionals in the music industry. For his part, Jaume comes from international artist management and began teaching music business in 2014. They were brought together by a shared conviction that the industry needed a new approach to training.

During the first three years, IMB School operated as a training provider for universities, schools, and industry organisations. This initial period helped define the methodology that followed.

In 2018 came the programme that changed everything: the Master’s in Music Business Management in Barcelona—an innovative programme that has broken the mould in music business education.

The approach was radical: students learn the business by making real decisions regarding demanding and hands-on projects. The programme includes organising a festival, launching a vinyl and digital compilation, as well as managing music projects with real money—all alongside active industry experts and mentors.

The result: 77% of our students secure employment in the sector within the first six months of graduation. This is a figure we take great pride in.

In October 2020, IMB School launched its online education through two programmes: the Specialist Course and the Postgraduate Diploma in Music Business Mindset (Online).

The online format combines prior theoretical learning with live online sessions held by a selection of international experts. This allows students to deepen their knowledge through interaction and debate based on shared interests, as well as build their network with the speakers.

Students enrolled in the online programme gain access to the industry and its professional network from anywhere in the world.

In October 2021, IMB School expanded its offering with the Master’s in Music Business Innovation, a programme designed for more senior profiles. The methodology focused on solving real challenges set by leading companies in the sector. The students work in teams and operate under high-pressure in confidential environments with outstanding results.

Leading global companies in the sector propose real challenges they face today and, in teams, students must propose innovative solutions in a competitive environment.

Despite the level of pressure and confidentiality required of students, student satisfaction is extremely high.

Not only this, but the companies are also highly satisfied and there have even been disputes between them regarding the recruitment of our most talented students.

Since October 2022, IMB School has been offering the Make It Happen module in Madrid, integrated in all the Music Business Management programmes. The Madrid campus is located within the facilities of Sony Music Spain—an environment that forms part of the learning experience from day one.

In October 2023, IMB School began offering the Business Planning module as part of any Entrepreneurship programme. It is designed for entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs or top executives in the music business.

In 2024, the Barcelona campus relocated to the BMAT Music Innovators building, an international audio monitoring company (radio, television, and streaming). These facilities place IMB School students in a professional, international environment from their very first day.

In October 2025, IMB School launched the AI for the Music Industry module, included in all Master’s and Postgraduate programmes. This pioneering module explores how artificial intelligence is transforming creative, technical, and business processes in the music industry, while also analysing its legal and ethical implications.

To conclude, here are some of our key figures:

At IMB School we offer 5 recommended programmes; 2 are 100% online and in English (Music Business Mindset and Music Business Entrepreneurship), and 3 (Music Business Management) are in-person and combine English and Spanish.
Students of 33 different nationalities have studied with us so far.
More than 70 leading experts are involved in our training each year.
We have more than 100 internship agreements signed with organisations in the sector.
All our training is approached from an international perspective, so that regardless of the country of origin of our students, they can later develop their professional careers anywhere in the world.

Our training stems from an international perspective: regardless of their country of origin, IMB School students can develop their professional careers anywhere in the world.

We continue to grow, so just imagine what is yet to come!
