Pandion Music Foundation Details Free Music Industry Programs For November

Pandion Music Foundation (PMF) a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization founded in 2022 dedicated to fostering growth in the music creator community is launching a range of new November programs for artists. All PMF programs are offered weekly and are free. PMF recognizes that many independent and emerging artists do not have the access to the resources or networks that are required to build their careers. PMF was created to provide those tools and nurture the music creator community across all lines of diversity and inclusion. PMF partners include Backline,  Earthstar Creation Center, 2indie.com, and Sweetwater.

"Last year, we launched an awareness campaign called Grateful November. As a relatively young nonprofit, we were inspired that our mission and programs are being embraced by music creators around the U.S. and across the globe," commented PMF founders artists Rebecca Trujillo Vest (Los Angeles, USA), Jordan Stobbe (Melbourne, AUS), and Carls Woolf (London, UK). "Undoubtedly, this November will be a time of change. However, it can also be a time to reflect on the past 12 months and the inspirations and challenges they have brought. As music people, we are geared to seek inspiration and confront challenges in our careers. And so, we invite our PMF community to contemplate gratitude and its manifestation in your creative output over the past twelve months."

About Pandion Music Foundation:

Pandion Music Foundation (PMF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that equips emerging music creators around the world with tools to help foster more equitable, attainable, and sustainable careers.

Based in Los Angeles, PMF amplifies diverse voices to grow a more inclusive music industry by providing free, weekly, online workshops and wellness initiatives that connect independent musicians with leading professionals.

All of Pandion’s services are 100% donor funded. That makes PMF different from the majority of other organizations existing in the music and entertainment space. Our work will not rely on music creators’ personal funds that should go toward creating, collaborating, and producing their art. That means fewer financial barriers, and more music.
