Values

VOV, while at its core provides services aspiring music industry professionals (e.g, singers, instrumentalists, composers and producers). Our solutions consider the social, emotional, healthy development of talent and the need for an interplay between the community.

We also:

1) understand, recognize, and appreciate the differences between the artist
2) are aware of the life circumstances of various talented people
3) provide multicultural experiences
4) provide opportunities for people to interact with a “variety” of social demographics

The strength and influence of the pop culture in today’s society is undeniable. Yet, the ideas presented through our organization’s activities awaken the skills, gifts, talents, and virtues that lay dormant in much of society today.
