Beyond Music, an innovative NGO, is dedicated to initiating change through music. We were founded in 2018 by the Swiss Beyond Foundation with support from Tina Turner and serve as a premium online platform for professional artists from all cultural backgrounds to collaborate in album projects. Leveraging the combined forces of music, technology, and community, we are eager to catalyze significant social transformation.
Our mission is to bring together artists from all corners of the globe, fostering collaboration that promotes intercultural understanding, compassion, and allyship through innovative musical expressions. We harness the universal language of music to explore new perspectives, ideas, and cultures, driving positive social impact on a worldwide scale. With a remarkable track record of three albums addressing pressing global issues, we united high-quality producers and our members in an effort to create meaningful songs about current matters.
For our new album project Vol.4 'Songs for Social Change', we gathered a team of three award-winning stars: 5-time Grammy Award winner Angélique Kidjo, Afrobeats hitmaker Pheelz and Ghanaian pop sensation Wiyaala. The guest artists have now selected three winning songs from the submissions and will collaborate with the artist teams in studios to produce powerful music that aims to reshape our world. All costs are covered, and the winning artists will perform alongside the stars in a music video. The songs will be submitted for the new Grammy category "Best Song for Social Change". 20 further submissions have been awarded a total of 85,000 US dollars. These songs, along with the Top 3, will be released on the Beyond Music album Vol.4, which will be promoted worldwide. Thank you to everyone who participated. We can't wait to share your incredible music with the world. Stay tuned for the release of Vol.4!

The ongoing virus pandemic continued to restrict the lives of artists. Thanks to our online platform, the Beyond Music Project was able to proceed unimpeded. Given today's diverse challenges, the five-time Grammy Award-winning producers of our Vol.3 album, Michael League & Bill Laurance, chose "conflict" as the guiding musical theme. Artists were asked to apply this concept to every element of the musical creation process. "Conflict" was to be used as a creative and inspirational tool to think about all kinds of struggles and reflect those experiences in their music. We received 140 pieces of music from 850 artists of 54 countries. 16 of these songs were selected and newly produced.
Create your profile, describe what kind of artist you are and connect with professional musicians, composers, singers and songwriters from all over the world. To date, we have artists from 171 countries in our community.
