Discover Sooner, the Nashville-based online platform connecting unsigned songwriters and artists directly with major publishers, forges pathways to accelerated career success. In 2022, Discover Sooner partnered with Molly Girl Music, a boutique music supervision and creative soundtrack company, expanding opportunities for unsigned songwriters and artists. This collaboration created a robust mentorship program, providing over 100 creatives with invaluable hands-on guidance for sync placements in TV, film, and advertising.
This commitment to supporting creatives continues with the launch of our scholarship fund, powered by The Funding Studio, designed to remove financial barriers and equip songwriters, artists, and music producers with essential resources for success.
We believe in the power of mentorship to transform lives. Our goal is to provide aspiring songwriters with the opportunity to learn from industry professionals, fostering both creative growth and professional success.
Our $25,000 fundraising goal is the foundation for launching a high-quality scholarship program that connects talented students with seasoned mentors in the music industry. Every contribution plays a crucial role in making this program a reality.
With your support, we’ll be able to offer scholarships to promising creatives, connecting them with experienced mentors who can guide them through the complexities of the music industry.
Access to a mentor can change the trajectory of a young artist's career—helping them navigate challenges, build their networks, and gain industry insights that would otherwise be out of reach.
Mentorship doesn’t just provide technical expertise, it also offers the emotional support and encouragement necessary for success. A mentor can be the difference between an aspiring musician giving up on their dreams and achieving them. By connecting students to these industry leaders, we are opening doors to opportunities that will inspire their growth as artists and professionals.
Join us in shaping the future of music. Together, we can create a program that doesn’t just teach, but inspires, empowering the next generation of music creators to thrive.
