About us
Welcome to AOCA, a Creative Arts Community Interest Company established in 2013. We specialize in designing targeted specialist programs and skills development courses aimed at capacity building and community engagement. Our mission is to uplift and empower disadvantaged youth and young adults in multiple countries, regions, and communities, with a particular focus on the UK, India, Nepal, France, Italy, Africa, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam.
At AOCA, we believe in the transformative power of music, education, and mental health therapy. Through these tools, we aim to enhance the lives of young individuals facing socio-economic challenges. Our work is driven by a desire to make a difference in communities and regions that statistically experience high crime rates, low income levels, limited job opportunities, and a lack of accessible education. Moreover, we are dedicated to fostering unity by bringing communities and cultures together, both locally and globally.
To ensure the effectiveness of our programs, we meticulously monitor the entire process. We conduct comprehensive research in the areas where we work, before, during, and after delivering our programs. This approach enables us to identify and evaluate the specific needs of individuals, groups, and communities we collaborate with, ensuring our services have a positive impact on key social areas.
At AOCA, transparency is of utmost importance. We provide thorough evaluations for all our work, including video documentaries, photos, personal feedback, and figures. Through detailed charts and reports, we showcase the direct areas where our programs have made a positive difference.
To maintain a strong presence in the areas we serve globally, we establish direct points of contact who oversee and evaluate the progress of our support programs. This daily reporting enables us to continuously evaluate, design, and deliver area-specific creative arts programs that contribute to building stable and socially engaged communities. Our aim is to establish sustainable practices that will continue to uplift villages, suburbs, and cities, both locally and globally, for years to come.
Join us at AOCA in making a lasting impact on the lives of disadvantaged youth and the communities they belong to. Together, we can create a brighter and more inclusive future.
Kamani Records & AOCA
We have forged a strong partnership with Kamani Records, a reputable UK + Asia-based record label, collaborating on various impactful projects.
Kamani Records specializes in Sync, Label Services, Artist Management, and Booking Agency. With a decade-long focus on investing in and nurturing young, disadvantaged artists and musicians from Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi, Shillong, Hyderabad, Nepal, and the UK, they have been instrumental in our joint efforts.
Over the past 10 years, we have designed, organized, and delivered targeted skills development programs for these artists, providing guidance and support in recording, lyric writing, performance practice, and confidence building. Together, we have curated international live shows across India and Asia, offering aspiring artists a platform to share their voices and express their experiences growing up in disadvantaged communities, villages, and mountain regions.
Our collective aim is to empower these individuals to pursue positive and creative career paths, shaping their lives and futures. With over 15 talented artists from Asia, New York, and the UK on their roster, Kamani Records is a driving force in the music industry, organizing major socially conscious music festivals, events, and youth workshops for the past decade. Their expertise lies in skills development and capacity building, making a significant impact in the industry and youth work sector.
