ROOTSPRING NPC, a dedicated non profit company, have since 2015 been supporting and promoting artists through income generating platforms.

WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT DURING THIS CHALLENGING TIME TO SUPPORT OUR STRUGGLING ARTISTS

“Without the support of Ariva (Jersey) Trust (UK) and BASA (Business Arts South Africa) we would not be able to create any income generating platforms for artists. They are providing us with the necessary funding for operational expenses, but we need your funding to pay for venues, staging and lighting, audio and video promotional recording, meals and transport for artists, training and mentorship programmes but most importantly to pay performance fees for our Growing Artists Projects”
– Yusuf Ganief (Rootspring CEO).

MENTORSHIP PROGRAMME

With Covid a new era of online concerts and live streaming have become the norm. However many South African artists are not educated and with a digital divide based on varying economic factors we as Rootspring have started a monthly workshop and training series for 20 emerging and established artists. The aim of these workshops is to equip artists with online media education, live streaming technology, social media marketing, copyright knowledge, basic sound and staging, basic photography. These sessions will be done in partnership with established arts training and workshop facilitators/organizations.

What would you like to support?

    We recently (the Jack Mantis Band) performed at the Rootspring House. What a night! Possibly the most intimate setting for a truly humbling listening experience…and possibly the finest live sound we’ve ever experienced.

    If you’re a true listener of sound and lyric, Rootspring should be on your monthly calendar.

    I love Rootspring. I love the care that they take in the production of every musical and filmic offering they create. Their approach of respecting the artist as well as the art above all really makes them a remarkable component of the South African and global music scene.
