GOOD FOR THE ARTIST

At Whoa Music we understand how financially hard it is to jump start a music career.  That is why we’ve made it our mission to cover budgeted studio time, distribution, and marketing costs that artists can’t afford!

GOOD FOR THE PRODUCER

At the end of the day, the producers are the key ingredient to making an artist live up to their fullest sound potential.  At Whoa Music we contract and pay producers and engineers their full rate so that everybody wins.

GOOD FOR THE COMMUNITY

Our mission is to help a single person or an entire community get closer to achieving their artist goals.  At Whoa Music, we have a
win-win-win philosophy.  Artists win. Producers Win. Community Wins. 

What We DO

Whoa Music, Inc. is a non-profit 501c3 public charity in the state of California that obtains its funding from private, public, and government fundraising. Money raised goes into the development of musicians and artists here in the San Francisco Bay Area. With each artist our partners and contracted music studio professionals produce their desired project.  Our services include music production, engineering, distribution, marketing, and media. 

Who we work with

Whoa Music, Inc. is dedicated to working with talented artists and musicians in the San Francisco Bay Area that don’t have the means to afford music career building expenses such as studio time, distribution, marketing, consultation, and media production.  Our mission is to uplift individuals and communities through the power of music, art, and creating careers.
