Studio training for African women, without the bootcamp price tag.
Applications are open for the Audio Girl Foundation's Summer Training Programme, an initiative aimed at supporting young women pursuing careers in audio technology and the music business across Africa and the diaspora.
While Silicon Valley continues to gatekeep audio technology training behind expensive bootcamps and university programs, the Audio Girl Foundation is doing what Pan-African innovation does best, creating pathways where none existed. This scholarship programme recognizes that the continent's music production future belongs in the hands of African women who understand both the technical craft and cultural nuance that global studios are still trying to decode. It's a direct challenge to the myth that world-class audio engineering requires Western validation when Lagos, Accra, and Johannesburg are already setting the sonic standards.
