Yes, tours of our Brentwood, Tennessee offices are available. These tours are given on a limited basis to groups no larger than 45 for the purpose of education to children, youth, high school and college interns, and community organizations. The EMI Christian Music Group facility is a corporate office environment, not a recording studio. Therefore, groups should not expect to view recording sessions or see recording artists.

Unauthorized downloading is just as illegal as shoplifting, and it is every bit as wrong. Not only does it rob recording artists and songwriters of their livelihoods - and threaten the jobs of tens of thousands of less celebrated people in the music industry, from engineers and technicians to warehouse workers and record store clerks - it also undermines the future of music by depriving the industry of the resources it needs to find and develop new talent. What's more, when you download from an authorized site, you can be sure of getting a complete recording of the highest quality.

If you are an artist, represent an artist, or in any way are seeking distribution for fewer than ten finished recorded music or video products, please do not send materials to our company, as they will not be reviewed. Instead, please visit the Gospel Music Association's website to request a Gospel Networking Guide. Their website is located at www.gospelmusic.org. This guide will give you names and contact information for several independant and one-stop distributors specially equipped to meet your needs.
