Music School in Africa (Namibia)
Donation protected
We are building a music school in Namibia where young artists from the townships are to be trained and prepared to gain a foothold on the global market.
Each student is assigned a top-class mentor who is an established name in the electronic music industry.
We will run weekly courses for electronic music, where the kids will learn how to DJ and how to produce music. Also they will learn everything about the music industry and what it takes to become a successful artist.
We will provide daily meals for the kids to make sure, that no one starves. Also we will use a small percentage of the money to help students and their families outside of the school, for example with medication, repairs of their homes etc.
Music has always been present in Africa, a means of expression and a facilitator for change. Focusing on the power of big artists and their ability to inspire the youth we want to raise funds for education projects that would uplift their communities and bring real life-changing opportunities to those creative people who until then would have fallen through the cracks of an outdated and broken education system.
The origin of so many different music genres can be found in African culture. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible there to earn money with music or even to make a living from it.
Our goal is to change that. We want to build the bridge between african local artists and the global music industry and its resources.
