Abstract：In the era of globalization and the knowledge economy, talent has increasingly become a strategic resource driving local industrial upgrading and economic growth. Current research on talent mobility has predominantly focused on high-level talents as a collective group or on professional talents within innovative fields, leaving the spatial patterns and mechanisms underlying the mobility of creative talents underexplored. This study investigates the spatial structure and diverse patterns of the mobile network of musical talents in China, utilizing geographical data from 3148 Chinese musicians. Furthermore, it employs Ridge Regression Analysis to identify the key factors that influencing cities' attractiveness to musical talents. The findings reveal the following: 1) Musical talents generally exhibit a high degree of inter-city mobility. The overall mobile network displays a spatial structure characterized by Beijing as the central hub and several economically developed cities as multiple cores. 2) While the mobility networks of musicians across different music genres show certain similarities, particularly in their convergence toward economically developed cultural centers, notable inter-genre disparities exist. 3) Industrial agglomeration is the most critical factor enhancing cities' attractiveness to musical talents, followed by the developmental level and structure of urban economies. Professional music education institutions play a more prominent role in shaping musician flow during the learning stage, whereas the foundation of urban cultural industries and market dynamics exert stronger pull during the working stage.
