The Music Cities™ is a YouTube native channel started in 2025 that uses heavy metal to teach placemaking, music scenes and entrepreneurship, with a subscriber base in the low six figures and a stated positioning as the most subscribed economic development channel on YouTube. Japanese metal coverage carries the channel: a Nemophila interview passes 150,000 views in its first twelve days and the channel builds working press relationships with Metal Blade UK and Earsplit PR, a recurring 3 Questions interview series, a Friday chart, a companion discovery channel called Music Cities Radio, merchandise that touring bands wear on the road, and the Japanese Metal Family Tree reference at japan.themusiccities.com. YouTube is the first platform and the first rail; Patreon and a merchandise store follow. Details are as stated by the owner.
