MUSIC BEYOND …
SHINES A LIGHT ON MUSICAL CHANGEMAKERS
Music Beyond shines a light on the talented musicians of all genres by creating opportunities for them to share their music, highlight their culture and change the narrative of the country.
PRODUCES ALBUMS TO SUPPORT ARTISTS
Music Beyond produces albums and sell them exclusively on our platform, which enable us to send most of the proceeds to the artists to directly support their livelihood.
WORKS WITH MUSICIANS TO FIND PURPOSE IN LIFE.
Music Beyond offers lessons, workshops and conferences, as well as performance opportunities.
SUPPORTS LOCAL SCHOOL
Music Beyond offers musical and financial support Light Initiatives—a community music school in Goma that is teaching the joy of music to youth in challenging circumstances for free.
INSPIRES THE NEXT GENERATION
Music Beyonds partner with schools, NGOs, and other organizations to offer consulting that helps them to strengthen their music programs and build new curriculums from the ground up.
“With all the sufferings we have gone through—wars and natural disasters, music is about giving a part of ourselves, sharing emotions, and offering another perspective of our country.
And all of that, is a way of self-healing.”
