The Organic Support Program (OSP) - ‘Distributed Empowerment’ for female and non-binary talent from India. FEMWAV has built a network of professionals involved in recording, production, publishing, audio-visual content, mentorship and PR. These talented professionals will provide distributed time and mentorship which collectively gives wings to your music career. Yes it's free! Incubating since 2021, we have been learning about the constrains and limitations that female and non-binary artists actually face in India. The lack of mentorship, of knowledge, tech and skill formation which consequently reflects in the numbers (participation) in the music scene. Hence the need for "empowerment independent of economics".
What is OSP?A network of music professionals are contributing 10 hours each over 6 months - to empower a new artist. Hands-on knowledge, skills and insights. Building blocks necessary for a stable dynamic career. Individually 10 hours is less than 1% of our annual working time. Yet when we add up and value, it's simply powerful and pragmatic know-how!
Why?
Remember when you were a newbie, looking around for help, for gigs and guidance? How to? Where to? Just like that, today's emerging female and NB talent merits the guidance, solidarity and love. FEMWAV is addressing the problem with a new 'organic' solution! Education independent of economics.
For Who?
In India, thousands of women (at least) have no access to professional guidance, production skills, PR, mentorship and funding - all of which are needed to manifest a successful career in music. Institutions, schools and 'big artists' do not address this principle point of inequality.
The 8 OSP modules (worth 10 hours each) are conducted over a 6 month interim period. 'Distributed Empowerment' works online and in-person. Each module adds new skills, knowledge and insight for the aspiring talent. OSP is based on one mentor and one mentee model. Both agree to enter a mentoring relationship to help the mentee develop, improve and achieve her goal. OSP is self-regulatory. Which means that FEMWAV will not be monitoring every stage. We trust both sides to excel! Check the basic guidelines created to maximize your participation, ensure growth and safety.
