Who We Are
Worldwide Musicians United (WWMU) is an international nonprofit based in San Diego and Buenos Aires. We work with emerging artists around the world, facilitating cross-cultural collaborations and supporting musicians everywhere to create positive change in their local communities. We are a qualified 501(c)(3) organization registered in the United States, with an ever-growing network of members, partners, and supporters from across the globe.
Since our inception in 2015, we've implemented a wide range of successful projects, including: building a recording studio/community hub from the ground up in Uganda, putting on workshops and live performances with an indigenous community in Argentina, collaborating on a songwriting and music therapy project with refugee girls in the U.S., recording singles and albums with talented and deserving artists in need, facilitating international collaborations between musicians all over the world...and MUCH more!

What We're Creating Next...
Through this campaign, we're establishing the first ever "Global Sound Healing Alliance." We've identified an extraordinary group of musicians, music therapists, and sound healers from all over the planet. Their diverse techniques range from the ancient to the cutting edge, but their goal is the same: using sound to promote healing and enhance the wellbeing of their fellow humans...like YOU.

Each of these innovators does unique and deeply impactful work in their own right. WWMU is already supporting them (and you will too by contributing to this campaign!) in an astounding array of endeavors:
- Producing new albums, consciously created to promote healing and wellbeing
- Putting on interactive live events (like "silent", therapeutic concerts with wireless headphones in beautiful outdoor settings)
- Providing music therapy and workshops in schools, orphanages, prisons, shelters, festivals, and corporate board rooms
- Bringing traditional drumming and dance, along with yoga and healing workshops, across borders and into refugee camps in East Africa
- Creating a "duet" between the brainwaves of a meditating musician and frequencies generated from the biodata of a tree! And more...

But another main goal of this project is to bring all of these amazing healers together, to witness and document the resulting synergy and new discoveries that arise.
We'll achieve this by creating the following:
-
A documentary film featuring interviews with each healer about their work and impact
-
A musical compilation featuring songs and meditation tracks from individual participants, as well as new collaborative recordings created together
-
Educational materials so that their knowledge and experience can be passed on to others
-
A new international community that will continue to grow for years to come (imagine a "United Nations" made up of sound healers!) with the goal of creating a healthier world for all of us...

The Impact
The world we live in is complicated, extremely fast-paced, and not without its share of catastrophes and suffering. As a global society, we're battling what can feel like an endless stream of "bad news" and overstimulation. Paradoxically, the very technologies meant to simplify our lives and connect us to one another can leave us feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and further disconnected from ourselves.
This project is a call to reconnect, both with ourselves and those around us, through the immense and often mysterious powers of sound and music. Together we will explore a wide variety of the healing modalities that can be seen and heard across the world today, and reflect on how they can be implemented in our increasingly complex lives.

Your support will allow us to document this entire process, create new recordings and educational materials, and democratize the findings to a much larger audience. And if we fully reach our goal, we'll even be able to host an inaugural, in-person summit next year in Buenos Aires for the amazing healers that we'll be following throughout this project.
These inspiring individuals have devoted their lives to helping and healing others; this campaign is not only a chance to help them do so on a larger scale, but also an opportunity to reap the healing benefits in your own life!
What We Need & What You'll Get
Here's how we'll make this ambitious project a resounding success...

If we raise the full $50,000, we'll be able to host the inaugural, in-person summit for the Global Sound Healing Alliance next year in Buenos Aires. This is not only an incredible opportunity for the participants, but would also signify the formation of a new international body, designed to share knowledge for the betterment of ALL, over many years to come!
And just in case we don't raise the full amount, we've ensured that every other component of this project can be carried out virtually; a practice we've been perfecting for years!
WWMU Virtual Teams are made up of musicians from around the world who collaborate over the internet to compose, produce and record original music together.
Besides the new knowledge and discoveries that all of us will be able to apply in our lives moving forward, please don't miss out on the exciting physical and experiential perks that you can gift to yourself or a loved one (especially as the holidays are fast approaching!)... ➡️
Risks & Challenges
There's no doubt that our 'stretch goal' of an in-person summit is a lofty one! And we'll need to manage the logistics for more than a dozen participants from at least four different continents, ensuring that all collaborations--whether in-person, or virtual--run smoothly.
But this is not our first 'crowdfunding rodeo' ;) Our Kickstarter campaign back in 2016 was recognized as a "Project We Love" and raised over 130% of its goal. And we've made it our job to facilitate seamless international collaborations, resulting in high-quality content, ever since!
Longtime WWMU member and reggae producer Esteban Descalzo (Argentina) brought us this vibrant project, in collaboration with musicians from the East Coast of the U.S.
Other Ways You Can Help
WWMU was founded by musicians who believed that all artists should have the same level of access to resources and opportunities as we did. That same principle applies to this campaign as well. We're asking you to support this project not only for the potential healing and information it can offer you; but also as an opportunity to become part of something larger than ourselves, ensuring that the resulting knowledge and materials can be shared with those who need them most.
In April of 2018, our co-founders were invited to deliver a TEDx talk in Syracuse, New York. They were deeply honored to share WWMU's story with the world!
So, even if you can't make a financial contribution, you can still help by:
-
Getting the word out to your friends, family, and other possible partners that might be interested in supporting this dynamic global project (feel free to introduce us over email!)
-
Sharing our campaign on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn...or even over a coffee ;)
