MUSIC WORKSHOP
M
zansi music
magazine hosted
the first music
rights, mu-
sic
pro-
duction and vocal techniques
workshop at downtown music hub,
Johannesburg. This is meant to
empower upcoming musicians of
South Africa by educating them
about the music industry in our
country. This project aims to ensure
that upcoming musicians know
their music rights, as well as ways
on how they can make and market
their music. It also aims to travel
nationwide ensuring that upcom-
ing musicians access this essential
information.
This project was influenced by the
number of questions we got from
upcoming artists about the South
African music industry.
“This is meant to empower
musicians of South Africa”
The event was joined by
representatives from the South
African Music Rights Organization
(SAMRO) and Voice of Wits (Vow
Fm) so as to enlighten upcoming
musicians about their music rights
and how they can get their music to
be broadcasted on radio respective-
ly.
We realised that there is a lot of
talent in our country that the world
does not know about because most
of our upcoming musicians lack
knowledge about music registration
and the requirements of getting
music to be broadcasted by radio
stations.
As a result we decided to start a
project that will enable them to
access the essential information.
