OneBeat Ghana will bring together a cohort of leading young musician entrepreneurs from Ghana (and the West Africa region, depending on additional funding) for an intensive residency to exchange and build strategies for stronger artist communities and creative economies in the region.

All costs will be covered for OneBeat fellows, including travel and accommodation. Fellows will also receive a per diem and a modest honorarium.

Applicants must be 19 or older by the time of the programme (6 November) and 35 or younger at the end of the programme (20 November).

Eligible countries and territories: Ghana, Nigeria and the US.

Musicians from all backgrounds are encouraged to apply, with or without formal musical training.

The programme welcomes music of all genres, including but not limited to traditional/folk, hip hop, experimental, electronic, jazz, classical, sound design, beat-making, multimedia art, or any combination of these styles.

In addition to full-time professional musicians, the programme invites adventurous musicians who double as community organisers, instrument builders, writers, videographers, musicologists, educators, storytellers, dancers, shadow-puppeteers, and more.

Audio/video application materials: Applicants should plan to write about their proposed creative projects and their musical background.

Applicants will be asked to submit three to five samples of their work (both audio and video are accepted).
