Black Artist Incubator

A heartfelt thank you to all that added their energy to the amazing event that was Re:Vibes!

We truly appreciate all the feedback from the community sharing how beautiful and impactful Re:Vibes was 🙏🏽❤️

Now it’s time to come together and do the work!
As Kendrick Sampson so passionately stated..

“We have to create our own artist economies outside of extractive Hollywood!”

We need you to keep the conversation going and put action behind those sentiments.

Support for HiiiWAV means hundreds of artists have the opportunity to create black owned businesses that uplift Oakland, create timeless music, and produce dope & culturally rich experiences like Re:Vibe.

At HiiiWAV we propel Black artist/entrepreneurs forward by providing Black instructor led courses on AI, VR, pitch deck creation, business model design, product creation & the “artist-prenurial” mindset to make sure artists benefit more financially and recognition wise from the art they create through building lasting business, and uplifting their communities.

Join us in making the vision of multi-million dollar Black artist-led companies a tangible reality that we can all be proud of.

Our next residency AFRO AI MVP starting March 5th, is a program designed to get our former grant winners to first prototype stage. It culminates in Pitch Day June 8th at the inaugural HiiiWAV Music & Tech Fest.

In building our own music tech company, ElectroSpit, having our first prototype led to our first round investments of $35k then to a successful kickstarter of $113k which resulted in us being able to manufacture over 2000 units of our instrument right here in Oakland.  

We know our artist-entrepreneurs are capable of building multi-million dollar artist-led businesses. We’ve already raised $150k to support these visionaries, and now they need your support to reach the $300k goal for the program.

Let’s work together to boost their journey.

One Love,

Bosko Kante,

Executive Director, HiiiWAV

With heartfelt thanks and unstoppable energy,
