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 October 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.
PMF founders artists Rebecca Trujillo Vest (Los Angeles, USA), Jordan Stobbe (Melbourne, AUS), and Carls Woolf (London, UK) commented, “In addition to our weekly programs, we've created two ways for creators to connect with PMF. People can become a Community Ambassador or Pandion Advocate to support our mission to bring together musicians and industry experts and break down barriers to help navigate career challenges."
