The Over My Shoulder Foundation (OMSF) was created to celebrate and reward nominated mentors and mentees; a new cadre of creative talent which will have the leadership skills to amend many of our social and economic crises.

“If there is something to be changed in this world…it can only be done through music.” -Jimi Hendrix

Our foundation started and was inspired by the Jimi Hendrix quote above and our Over My Shoulder song because:

Music is a universal language, with the unique ability to arouse great introspection and activism. It can infiltrate borders with messages that might otherwise go unheard. Music has the distinctive ability to stimulate great ideas in minds both young and old. It can create a great sense of connectedness in those who feel disenfranchised, and connect and heal a broken spirit.

Tell us about your mentors and thank you so much for all your help!
