Call for applications: Revenue Streams for African Musicians workshop in Johannesburg

Launched in 2021, the RSFAM project is a multifaceted initiative aiming to empower South African music professionals with information and tools to earn more income from their works. The project mobilised field researchers in all nine provinces to conduct interviews with nearly 3 000 musicians. Industry insights will be made available in an open-access report, and workshops will be hosted across the country.

Music industry experts will provide training in the key focus areas identified in the study:

• Understanding music rights and optimising earnings from royalties.
• Brand-related revenue: Maximising your income through digital platforms.

The workshop is free of charge but is limited to 50 seats.

Register now by filling out this form. 

Registration is ongoing. An information pack will be communicated to selected participants.

The Johannesburg workshop will follow a similar session held at the Bridges for Music campus in Langa, Cape Town, on 3 and 4 March.
