The Rock Music Alliance (RMA) was formed in January 2020 by members of DHW Enterprises, DHW Records, Inc., Thimble Slide; and is based in Los Angeles, CA USA. It is an international music society with the main focus of spotlighting the great music being created each year in Rock, Metal, and Prog genres of music. The RMA is currently doing this by producing:

	The RMA Awards - for Rock, Metal, Prog music.
	Interview Sessions - their radio and podcast show where the RMA interviews artists, players, and industry people.
	Rock Music Alliance Radio - their internet radio station that plays Rock, Metal, Prog music; their show Interview Sessions; and other shows programmed by guest hosts.

The Rock Music Alliance and what it produces are intended to be a celebration of the great music being created in our Rock genres. It's a way for us to shine a spotlight on the artists and skilled players; a way to show the general public "This is what's really going on in Rock/Metal/Prog; and these artists are the best in our world."

With enough funding The Rock Music Alliance intends to produce, host, and provide:

	The RMA Awards for Rock/Metal/Prog: to shine a spotlight on excellence in these genres.
	Rock Music Alliance Radio: internet streamed and available worldwide to provide an outlet for music in the Rock/Metal/Prog genres and in particular the music of The RMA Awards nominees.
	Rock Music Alliance: Channel 1. Our podcast focusing on interviews.
	Scholarships to music schools.
	Concert-Showcases streamed worldwide live from venues featuring artists in our genres.
	Charity events for our membership and public with proceeds being donated to food banks, hospitals, and shelters.
