The MWM Concert

Twice a year, members play their own work to a live audience. Most professionals never have a stage. We give them one.

How it works

Four steps. That's it.

1

Sign in with Google

One click. We use it to RSVP and send joining links. No password to remember.

2

Pick a starting room

A jam, a workshop, a listening session — whichever calls to you. Most members start with Lunchtime Listening.

3

Show up on Google Meet

Your joining link arrives by email. Bring an instrument, a notebook, or just your ears.

4

Find your people on Discord

Members hang out between sessions. Drops of new work, late-night threads, real friendships.

Some people make music for a living. For the rest of us, music is the living.

Daboo Malik · The Magic-Maker
The host

Daboo doesn't teach you music. He invites you to it.

He never went to a conservatory. What he had was an ear, a love for the work, and the patience to recognise something real when he heard it.

That's what MWM is — a room he opens for the rest of us. Come in. Listen. Try things. Make a mess. Find your sound. He'll be in the room.

What members say

More Stories →

I run a 200-person company by day. Three hours on a Tuesday night with seven other professionals making music — it's the only place I'm not the boss. I've never slept better.

Founder · Bengaluru

I haven't sung in front of anyone since college. Three months in, I performed at the MWM Concert. My mother cried. My ten-year-old daughter recorded the whole thing on her iPad.

Cardiologist · Mumbai

The networking is unreal. I've found a co-founder, a therapist, and three new clients here. None of it through introductions — through writing songs together.

FAQ

Questions, answered

I'm not trained. Will I feel out of place?

No. Most of our members aren't formally trained — they're professionals who love music. We don't grade. We don't audition. The room is built for people who feel things and want to make something.

How much time will this take?

As much or as little as you have. Lunchtime Listening is 30 minutes. Workshops are 90. Curated Jam Nights are 2 hours.

Do I need to play an instrument?

No. We have lyric-writers, vocalists, instrumentalists, listeners, and people who just love music deeply.

Is everything online or are there in-person events?

Most workshops, jams, and listening sessions are on Google Meet. We do quarterly in-person jams in Mumbai and twice-yearly retreats in Goa, Lonavala, or Coorg.

Will my privacy be protected?

Yes. The Discord is members-only and not searchable. Some of our members are public figures — they trust us, and we keep that trust.

Can I cancel my membership anytime?

Yes. Memberships are annual but cancellation refunds the unused months pro-rata.
