At some point in their careers, musicians face the ultimate fork in the road; carry on pursuing their music, await the big “break”, or get a “real” job, one that provides a modicum of financial security and/or benefits. Opting for the latter results in scaling back such musical aspirations considerably, if not abandoning them entirely.
This is the unfortunate reality of being a musician in today’s society, and we are constantly losing some of our best talent as a result. What’s even more bothersome is that we’ve largely accepted it as the status quo of being an artist – if success is not met early and in abundance, the pressure to throw in the towel becomes more and more stifling.
Wanduta was born out of a passionate rejection of this reality, and disgust with the passive acceptance of it to date. At Wanduta, musicians are first and foremost, and we believe they should be given the same window for development, maturity, and reward that is granted to other professions.
Our vision is simple – give you, the working independent musician, everything you need to continue on your journey to success and longevity. Signing up through Wanduta.com gives you instant access to affordable healthcare, an easy-to-use discount platform that will save you money on food, hotels, rental cars, gear, and other road/everyday purchases. Submit your music to Wanduta, and be considered for booking, management, and promotional opportunities.
We aim to create a thriving community of independent musicians, bound by faith and commitment to their craft and a collective dissatisfaction with today’s industry. There is always strength in numbers- as we grow, you grow with us. Come join the movement.
