Qmusic, a privately owned company headquartered in the Netherlands, was founded in 2005, operates with approximately 190 employees as a tier 1 media tech buyer, and focuses on broadcast television and radio. The company primarily functions as a radio broadcaster.
QMusic appointed Kristy Ellis as its permanent Chief Executive Officer on August 24, 2026, following a national search for a long-term leader for Queensland’s contemporary music industry. Ellis had served as QMusic’s interim CEO since April, stepping into the position after the departure of former CEO Kris Stewart. In her permanent role, Ellis will oversee the delivery of key industry programs and events, including Industry Connect, Concert Care, BIGSOUND, and the Queensland Music Awards. This follows QMusic’s welcome of new reforms announced by the Queensland Government on March 29, 2026, aimed at strengthening the state’s live music industry. The organization described these initiatives as a practical and meaningful step forward for artists, venues, and the night-time economy.
