A Global Platform for Music, Collaboration,
and Belonging

One Groove is a global nonprofit movement, an inclusive platform and a safe space where music makers, industry leaders, and cultural entrepreneurs connect, co-create, and innovate. We work across cultures, borders, and genres to inspire and be inspired, recognizing the power of a multicultural, yet unified expression to bypass traditional gatekeepers and amplify diverse talent.

We design and facilitate collaborative spaces that transcend cultural barriers, providing a global stage and opportunities for visionary artists to thrive, push creative boundaries, and expand their reach. Through collaborative pathways, we cultivate creativity, belonging, and artistic excellence, empowering artists to make and share their music, challenge industry norms, and foster a more diverse, just, and equitable music ecosystem.

Residencies, Programs and Platforms

Human-Centered Collaboration Across Borders

Through residencies, tailored programs, and global collaborations, we create spaces for artistic exchange, cross-cultural collaboration, and shared prosperity. By amplifying diverse talent and fostering meaningful connections, our initiatives provide artists with the tools and opportunities to grow, thrive, and make an impact.

Rooted in cross-border partnerships and a human-centered approach, our programs challenge outdated narratives, reshape social structures, and empower young talent—harnessing the power of music as a universal language.

AMAGROOVE

It provides a transformative space where producers, songwriters, and vocalists come together to co-create, innovate, and inspire.
