Music Aid International is a long established non profit association of producers, promoters, musicians, music business executives, entertainment lawyers, music companies, supporters and others in the music industry.  Music Aid International and the musicaid.org website have been raising awareness of important social issues, supporting and promoting music charities and numerous good causes wordwide, and providing opportunities for new musical talent since 1998.

Music Aid International was launched in 1998 at a large event in central London, England with the support of many well known names from the worlds of music, art and film including Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood, the artist Rolf Harris and Sliding Doors film director and actor Peter Howitt. The launch event - "The Art of Music Festival" - was sponsored by AOL and Tower Records and it took over an entire floor at the Whitley's Center in central London. It ran for a full week and was attended by over 100,000 people who enjoyed seven days of art exhibits, free live music concerts and dance. This event holds the record for the largest exhibition of music related art ever staged with original works by Andy Warhol, John Lennon, Peter Max and many others as well as memorabilia, signed guitars and signed album covers from many famous names including Paul McCartney, John Lee Hooker, Oasis, Prince, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger and Bono.

Music Aid International has donated its services to some of the biggest names in music and it has been an important presence working with many international bodies including managing hundreds of volunters for the United Nations UNV Online Volunteer Program. It has provided resources and educational opportunities for musicians, supported charities providing schooling and aid for children in developing countries, distributed free musical instruments with the BBC, promoted and supported many music benefit events and CDs, run music contests and other events and helped to promote worthwhile projects on three continents.

Music Aid has been involved in many events that have provided an opportunity to highlight and promote awareness of good causes such as Linkin Park's Music For Relief program, The Earth Lab Foundation and the Agape Orphanage for children living with HIV in South Africa. Music Aid has worked on many projects with a wide range of partners including  the BBC, AOL, the United Nations UNV Program, Child Aid, Net Aid, The Earth Lab Foundation, Amazon Stores, Diaspora for Africa, Linkin' Park's Music For Relief program and many many others.
