Voltage Live is an independent nonprofit media organization dedicated to sparking creativity and empowering emerging creators in the entertainment and media industries. Founded in 2021, Voltage Live provides hands-on media experience, creator education, and collaborative opportunities for aspiring journalists, photographers, videographers, and digital storytellers.

Through music journalism, live concert coverage, photography, video production, and creative education, Voltage Live bridges the gap between learning and real-world media work. Our creators gain portfolio-ready experience while covering both established artists and up-and-coming talent, with a strong focus on the independent music scene.

In 2024, Voltage Live became an officially recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit, reinforcing our commitment to accessibility, inclusivity, and community-driven media. We believe the future of media depends on creators having the space to learn, collaborate, and experiment — without financial barriers.

Voltage Live exists to amplify voices, document culture, and build sustainable pathways for the next generation of creators.
