Music In Africa Gender @ Work is a three-year training programme aimed at upskilling and increasing the participation of female professionals in the African music sector. Launched by the Music In Africa Foundation (MIAF) in April 2019, the programme is connected to the MIAF’s ACCES music conference – a pan-African event held in a different African country every year. This connection enables the programme to reach new participants in a different African country every year. The programme marks the beginning of a more concerted effort by the Foundation to support the participation and inclusion of women in all facets of its programmes and the music sector in Africa as a whole. Over the three years, the programme will aim to address gender imbalances in the sector through training, lobbying, facilitating knowledge exchange and dialogues that foster the interest of women. The broader objectives of the programme are to: Provide industry training for women on critical music industry skills, focusing on: Stage management Electronic music production and recording Music business management Technical knowledge Provide an opportunity for both professional and aspiring women to benefit from the Music In Africa network and its broad range of activities in 2019, 2020 and 2021. Provide a solution-based platform in the form of a round table at ACCES with a view to identify challenges, discuss opportunities and lobby for the interests of female practitioners. Offer participants the opportunity to benefit from programmes offered by MIAF’s partners. Increase access to educational materials. Integrate participants in the broader ACCES programme to maximise experience and exposure to the industry. Record and present training materials on the www.musicinafrica.net, including but not limited to tutorials, templates and other best-practice materials.

Sound Connects Fund

For cultural and creative practitioners and organisations operating in southern Africa, access to funding remains a major challenge. The COVID-19 pandemic has also had a massive impact on government policy, spending and the economy in general, and has seen spending on culture being moved further down the list of priorities. Further, the cultural and creative industries repeatedly cite four main areas where investment is needed for growth, which are increased visibility, mobility including access to new markets, finance and support structures.

BIO

With a natural fusion of pop, funk, soul, EASY FREAK are setting the South African music scene alight. The Johannesburg-based duo made up of Dom Hurd and Jude Kenrick have unequivocally been making waves and getting crowds moving to a fresh and unique sound.

They have made their mark playing at some of South Africa’s biggest music festivals; Oppikoppi, Zakifo, Kirstenbosch Summer Concerts, 947 Joburg Day, Bacardi Holiday Club, Vic Falls Carnival as well as Swaziland’s magical Bushfire Festival. Sharing the stage with the likes of the legendary Damien Marley, Riky Rick, Shekhinah, Cassper Nyovest, Kwesta, Micasa, Sho Madjozi and so many of Mzansi’s favourites - they’ve definitely got the nation’s attention.

You’ve probably grooved to their music on Trace Urban, MTV Base, watched their multi-faceted performance on The Voice South Africa, and seen them climb to the very top of local radio music charts, such as 947 TOP40, Jacaranda Top40, KFM Top 40, Algoa Top30, 5FM Top 30, and YFM Top 40.
Some of their collabs include incredible South African acts like Rowlene, Langa Mavuso, and Majozi.

Having been featured on H&M's 2018 summer campaign, Jet's 2019 Winter and Summer campaigns and collaborating with brands such as OLD KHAKI, Ray-Ban, Daniel Wellington, Jägermeister, Palladium Boots as well as being Deezer Next's 2019 SA artist, they have their fingerprints all over SA's industry.
