Project Beautiful Soul
Joshua Mwashomah | Music
Overview
I’m a young aspiring artist and I was recently accepted at my dream school Berklee College of Music! I’m fundraising towards mandatory equipment for entering Berklee students.
CONTEXT
I’ve been playing music for the past 4 years and I’ve fallen in love. I play piano, violin, drums, and now vocals! All of my 2020 was devoted to pursuing Berklee. I spent countless hours practicing during holidays and at school, often waking up at 5:30 AM in the morning. Last December my admissions decision came in and I was accepted. I will be attending Berklee in early 2022.
THE PROJECT
The Berklee tech requirements page states: “all students are required to own a MacBook Pro laptop and an audio interface”. I have neither of those, hence this crowdfunding campaign. It’d also be helpful to have a mini keyboard to create music on DAWs. By generously suporting this crowdfunding camapgin, you will be helping me buy these key items:
A MacBook Pro - $2,300
A Focus rite Scarlett Studio Pack - $600
An Akai MPK mini keyboard - $230
THE WHY
I want to give you all the very best of me as a future NZ artist. I believe studying at Berklee will greatly aid me in creating beautiful music from the depths of my soul. I aim to show the world that although we may not have wings, kiwis were born to fly.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for me but I need your help to make this possible. If you feel encouraged to partner with me, please feel free to donate and help spread the word by sharing the link to this project on your socials.
I deeply appreciate all of the love and support I’ve received from you guys already. Seriously, thank you to those of you who have listened, and who more importantly have believed in me. I would not be where I am if it weren't for the help of my fans and peers.
My most active social media is my Instagram @joshuathelast where I post most of my musical content. Please keep me in your prayers as well.
My warmest regards and blessings!

Day 8: We Made It
We made it in under a week! That was God.
From the bottom of my heart, I thank you all for the whale of support you have given to me this past week. It never crossed my mind that we would reach the target this quickly. But what I appreciated the most was your words of encouragement and faith. You guys have shown me how much you believe in me, my music, and my future, and I promise that I will make it up to you.
At Berklee I will study and focus more than I ever have in my life, because I know that there are over 50 people and so much more who are with me in heart, and are rooting for me from my home. My music will touch the world, and I promise to give back to you with everything I am.
Power to the local dreamer ✨
