“When I was a boy, my Mom and Dad bought me a used guitar. Little did I know how much that piece of wood and wire would play into the remainder of my life”.

About the OZONE Music Foundation
What started as a vision shared by Emmy-winning, Grammy-nominated songwriter Greg Barnhill and three colleagues has grown into a thriving movement—one that empowers aspiring musicians to turn their passion into a career. Rooted in the vibrant and culturally rich music scene of Louisiana’s Northshore, the Ozone Music Foundation is dedicated to shaping the next generation of music creators and industry professionals.
As a Louisiana-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit, our mission is to educate, nurture, and open doors for those who write, perform, and appreciate original music. Now in its eighth year, the Foundation continues to fuel music education and industry growth, ensuring that talent flourishes right here at home.
