PROTECT ARTISTS

Music is one of the greatest keys to a fulfilling life, for creators and the audience.
Only 11% of working musicians are able to support themselves fully through their art. Only 16% can afford to tour. S.LA.M. works to provide information, education, mentorship, resources, networking, and community to aid working musicians in the pursuits of financial independence and happiness for themselves and their loved ones through music.
