Donate to help me pursue my dreams

Hi, my name is Tanaja, and I'm an audio engineer from Pennsylvania, currently living in Maryland. I have always enjoyed doing music. I've been a musician for 15 years and an audio engineer for 5 years. I attended college for Recording Arts at Full Sail University and F.I.R.S.T Institute in Florida. I currently work full-time in a warehouse and do freelance recording and mixing in my free time. I am continuously perfecting my craft and to do so, requires hard work, dedication and unfortunately, money. I was recently offered a spot at the Jaycen Joshua Four-Day Mixing Masterclass in Paris, from the 21st to the 24th of June 2023. The Masterclass will be held at the brand new Mix with the Master's Studios, at Rue Boyer, Paris (20th Arrondissement). Jaycen Joshua is my favorite audio engineer, he is also a 16-time Grammy Award winner and has worked with the biggest names in music Like Beyonce and SZA. Attending this Masterclass would help me get one step closer to my goals and dreams of becoming the best engineer. The cost to attend this class in Paris is 3400 Euros and the flight and stay is about an additional $3000. This is more than what I can afford, but I can't seem to pass up on this amazing opportunity that was presented to me. As you all know I am very reserved and private in my personal life but this can't go unannounced.

I don’t normally ask for help, but I don't come from a wealthy family. This opportunity is the biggest I've ever received and will not come often. It would be so crushing if a young black woman in audio is unable to receive a mentorship that would change her life for the better because of money.
