Music Aid provide services and opportunities to musicians, songwriters, performers, producers and others while also providing promotion and fund raising opportunities for charities and good causes. Music Aid continues to support the teaching, study and exploration of music worldwide. Current foundation projects for 2019 include the creation of an international network of Music Aid centers, a re launch of the MA Child Aid project and the funding of music scholarships in association with the Music Aid Academy.
Music Aid was launched in 1998 at a large event in central London, England with the support of many well known names from the worlds of music, art and film including Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood, the artist Rolf Harris and Sliding Doors film director and actor Peter Howitt. The launch event - "The Art of Music Festival" - was sponsored by AOL and Tower Records and it took over an entire floor at the Whitley's Center in central London. It was attended by over 100,000 people who enjoyed seven days of art exhibits, free live music concerts and dance. This event holds the record for the largest exhibition of music related art ever staged with original works by Andy Warhol, John Lennon, Peter Max and many others and memorabilia, signed guitars and signed album covers from many famous names including Paul McCartney, John Lee Hooker, Oasis, Prince, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger and Bono among others. Funds raised at the launch event were used to directly provide schooling for poor village children in SE Asia and to establish the MA subsidiary The World Music Foundation which operated for over six years as a government registered international charity working with The United Nations UNV project and Net Aid in the areas of poverty relief and education.
