About Us
The Music People
Founded in 1979, The Music People, an Exertis | Jam business is an established international business-to-business supplier of music instrument accessories and pro-audio equipment to music retailers and sound contractors. A consistent Music Trades top-100 global supplier, we are proud to support performers in 80 countries. In 2020, The Music People joined forces with Exertis | JAM, North America’s leading distributor of musical instruments, pro-audio, pro-lighting, and consumer electronics.
Our employees and leadership contribute their knowledge and abilities to two brand divisions: On-Stage, designer, manufacturer, and supplier of more than 700 music-instrument accessories and stands, and TMP-Pro, distributor of over 200 pro-audio, video, lighting, and accessories brands.
The key to The Music People’s success supporting performers, content creators, and contractors around the world is the cultivation of a workplace culture that values long-lasting relationships with customers. The company earned Hartford Business Journal’s Family Business Award in 2013 and Hartford Courant Top Workplace accolades multiple times.

TMP-Pro
TMP-Pro, the pro-audio, video, lighting, and pro-accessories division of The Music People, distributes over 200 premium Pro-AVL brands while providing the added value of product advice and technical support from certified specialists.
Our substantial distribution capacity is based on strong relationships with established brands. We offer itemized quotes and deliver the convenience of sourcing a wide range of brands from a single point of contact with no minimum order requirement.
We exceed expectations as a distribution partner due to our certified specialists’ understanding of how to set up and integrate the pro-audio products we offer. Our specialists are trained by the brands we distribute using the same methods the brands use to train their own technicians. Knowledge of products and systems enables our team to expertly pull together and connect the items essential to a project's success.
