Hamin Ahmed, frontman of legendary Bangladeshi band Miles and an advocate for music creators’ rights, has been elected to the executive committee of Asia-Pacific Music Creators Alliance (APMA) for the 2026-2029 term.

He is the first representative from Bangladesh to join the APMA’s executive committee, marking a milestone for the country’s representation in regional music policy and copyright advocacy.

CISAC is the International Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers.

Hamin’s election places a Bangladeshi music industry leader in a key regional forum dedicated to protecting rights of the songwriters and composers.

Whether he will take on an additional leadership role remains under discussion. He said, “When I received the call from CISAC, I was elated.

Representatives from over 20 countries are currently cooperating through this organisation, and I will put my best foot forward to ensure that our voice is heard.”
