A journey supported by opportunity.

We caught up with Guy Buttery, SAMA Award winner and MCSF beneficiary.

The MCSF grant provided Guy with valuable support at an important stage of his career, enabling him to further develop his craft, pursue his creative work and take meaningful steps forward in his journey as a musician.

His SAMA Award was a celebration of the talent, dedication and hard work that had defined his career, and we were proud that MCSF support had formed part of that journey.

Guy’s story demonstrated the impact that investing in artists could have,creating opportunities, strengthening careers and helping South African talent reach greater heights.

MCSF investing in the people behind South Africa’s creative excellence.

Behind every song is a story. Behind every story is a creator whose work deserves to be recognised, protected and valued.

The The Music Imbizo reminded us that the future of music is not only about what we create, but how we protect what we create.

Because when music moves, its value should always find its way back to the creator.
