The Michael V Holdt Music Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization based in Los Angeles County. The foundation was born from the idea that some of the most exceptional talents exist outside mainstream channels and deserve to be heard. We understand that music creates a connection between the performer and listener, and behind every song there is a story to tell that a listener will take home with them.
Our story began with Michael V. Holdt’s lifelong passion for music and his desire to share his gift with others. He understands that countless artists possess unique voices but lack the platform to be heard. Today, we are building programs that amplify voices, develop skills, and inspire confidence through education, performance, and cultural exchange.
Guided by values of creativity, inclusivity, and impact, we aim to serve as a connection between incredible talent and the world that needs to hear it. We do this by raising funds and holding amazing events where these rising stars can perform. Michael V. Holdt Music Foundation exists to dismantle the barriers between extraordinary musical talent and the audiences who need to hear them. We are committed to a world where mastery and innovation are recognized and celebrated, regardless of genre or commercial trends.
We are transforming hidden gems into shining stars. Every artist we work with becomes a part of a legacy that celebrates creativity, authenticity, and the boundless potential of human expression.
We are:
To encourage artistic expression by empowering genuine artists to build lasting careers, and to help audiences discover sounds that ignite their imagination.
