Using music to combat the mental health crisis by reimagining the way independent artists create, inspire, and entertain locally.

From a dining room table in Colorado Springs to global platforms and main stages, Anthem Music Enterprises (AME) has grown into a creative force reshaping the independent music industry. Headquartered in the Garden of the Gods District in Olympic City, USA, AME was founded with a clear mission: to combat the mental health crisis in Colorado by reimagining the way independent artists create, entertain, and inspire—locally. Since opening our studio in 2022, we’ve built an ecosystem where artists can develop their sound, build their brand, and bring their stories to life—from their first song to their first tour.

The Intersection of Creativity & Mental Wellness

We believe music is a tool for healing, connection, and transformation. At a time when loneliness is one of the leading contributors to mental health struggles, our curated live shows and immersive experiences bring people together in powerful ways. Through strategic partnerships with the U.S. Olympics, Meow Wolf, Samson Technologies, the Southern Colorado Juneteenth Festival, and more, we’ve united hundreds of thousands of people through the universal language of music.

Impact Beyond the Stage

Through our youth-focused winter and summer camps and our after-school program, we’ve introduced music as a creative outlet for hundreds of students—many of whom have experienced significant adversity. These programs have opened doors to professional opportunities, including distribution deals through Roc Nation and placements on major platforms like NBA2K.

At AME, we don’t just make music—we build community, develop artists, and create pathways to healing. We are driven by purpose, powered by culture, and committed to using Arts & Entertainment as a catalyst for mental wellness and social change.
