The American Federation of Musicians of the US & Canada is a labor union representing more than 70,000 musicians across the United States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and Canada. Its members work in a wide range of roles, including freelance gigs, session work, touring, recording, and composing or arranging, spanning genres from rock to classical and beyond. The organization is headquartered in New York City at 1501 Broadway, Suite 900, and functions as a mid-sized union with a broad geographic footprint in the music community. In June 2026, AFM elected its leadership, naming Tino Gagliardi as international president, Karen Suarez Flint as VP, Allistair Elliott as Canada VP, and Ken Shirk as international secretary-treasurer. During the same period, the federation filed lawsuits against major labels Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group, and Sony Music Entertainment, challenging AI-related settlements on the grounds that musicians have not benefited from them.
