The MusicianShip Presents: The 37th Annual Wammie Music Awards (2026)

At the core, The MusicianShip provides free music education for DC youth...youth who might not othewise have an opportunity to play the sax, sing in a choir, or produce a beat, for example. &nbsp;Simply put, they are helping provide access to these experiences so youth can explore, find something that brings them joy and gives them a healthy outlet for their creative energy. &nbsp;They may even find a possible career interest. &nbsp;Access is everything. I know first-hand how music has positively and significantly impacted my life. &nbsp;I&#39;d like to use my platform for good and pay it forward. &nbsp;My goal is to raise $750.00 for The MusicianShip. &nbsp;I&#39;m just trying to do my part to help youth here at home have a shot like the one I got. &nbsp; Together, we can make music matter.
