More In Music was established by Noelle Chesnut Whitmore in February 2019. Motivated by a desire to impact her community and instigate positive change, she saw the need to educate, especially young people, on the values of hard work, history, God, and perseverance. Combining her love for music with her commitment to giving back, More In Music was created to fulfill this vision.
More In Music's mission is to illuminate the diverse career paths within
the music industry, ignite the passion of current and future leaders,
and cultivate a culture of empowerment and support.
Peer to Peer - We believe in the power of shared experiences.
Through storytelling and mutual support, we foster a community where
industry professionals uplift and inspire one another, creating a
unified and nurturing environment.
Peer to Youth - Our goal is to offer young individuals invaluable
insights into the real-world experiences of industry veterans. By
sharing stories of success and challenges, we equip the next generation
with the knowledge and resilience they need to navigate their own
musical journeys.
Youth to Future - We bridge the gap between emerging talent and
established leaders through comprehensive programs. Our panels,
workshops, mentorships, internships, and digital content—including web
series and podcasts—are designed to provide practical skills and
opportunities for young professionals to thrive in their careers.
Join us in our mission to educate,
inspire, empower, and help shape a future where every industry
professional has the tools to succeed.
