At UJAM, we believe in the transformative power of music. It connects us, heals us, and inspires us to push forward even in the most challenging times. Through our #MusicIsMedicine campaign, we aim to highlight the incredible stories of individuals whose lives have been touched by music. We’re not just about creating music software, we’re about fostering a global community where music is a force for good.

What is #MusicIsMedicine?

#MusicIsMedicine is our initiative to raise awareness of the profound impact music has on people’s lives. From offering solace during hardships to serving as a tool for self-expression and empowerment, music is more than just sound, it’s a universal language of healing.

Through #MiM, UJAM has pledged to contribute to causes that advocate for human rights and social justice. We invite musicians, producers, and creators worldwide to share their stories of how music has been their medicine, bringing hope, joy, and resilience into their lives.

We invite you to share your story! Where have you experienced the power of music in your life?

Ady and Hit The Road Music Studio: Empowering Musicians Across the Globe

In this special episode of #MusicIsMedicine, we feature Ady, the visionary behind Hit The Road Music Studio. Since 2018, Ady has recorded over 250 songs with local artists in places where professional recording opportunities were scarce. His journey has taken him across the world, working with artists from diverse backgrounds, uniting them through the love of music.

 

But his mission didn’t stop there. Ady recently founded a free music production school in the heart of the Sahara Desert, ensuring that aspiring musicians have the tools and knowledge to bring their art to life. Supported by UJAM, his initiative continues to break barriers and make music accessible to everyone, regardless of their circumstances.

With over 24 years of experience as a musician, producer, and mixing engineer, Ady has contributed to more than 1000 songs, working with global artists who tour the world and hit the charts. His belief is simple yet powerful: music has the ability to change the world and unite us as one global family.

Since I was a kid, I have been performing and writing music.
Throughout my life there has been some less creative years, where music wasn’t prioritized.
I have found that I get depressed, lazy and less ambitious in all aspects of my life,
when I’m not working with music. I actually get sick if I’m not writing or work with music creatively.
Music is more than medicine to me, it’s become the foundation I build my life around.

Aloha!
This week I’ve bought the Virtual Guitarist IRON plug-in and I’m lovin’ it. I am a blind man a poet and a beginner musician from Hungary. I want to thank you your great work. I’ve read the manual and heard some demos and walk-through videos. I think all of Iron’s features I can access as a blind man. I’m happy to know that.

(…) And I hope they can help me become a better musician and composer. Now i just enjoy making music. I was so happy to find such a guitar and I could access all the provided features as a blind man.

It was mid april and as usual I sat and mixed one song. Suddenly I slipped out of the chair without any alarming feelings prior. I had lost all of my right side and my speech from a stroke. The ambulance was fast so I got to the hospital in time. There they started at once to get my right side moving again. The second week a rehab woman came to me and brought a keyboard. I had managed to get them to understand that I was into music. She started to play a song that I knew I suddenly found myself singing. She told me that music (and other artistic things like painting) was handled by a different part of the brain than speech, math and those kind of things . After that I singed everything I wanted to say and that helped me to mend my speech even though it is not back as before yet. The coordination in my right arm is not there 100% either so playing my instruments have to wait a bit longer. Therefore I am so glad for the UJAM virtual instruments that I can play with one hand. The music got me back on track because music is medicine.

I’m a life long guitar player (almost 60 years) until the last few years as a rheumatism has worked its devilish ways into my hands.. I can still noodle around in open tuning using just a few fingers& strings at a time. My productivity with recording the songs I write fell of f the proverbial cliff.

Then, along comes Virtual Guitarist.. Used with Cubase and it’s Chord Track function I can “play” in ways I never have in my best years as a player. Styles & genre’s I’d never attempted. Needless to say, because of your products- I have all three- my creativity scaled that cliff & put up a guardrail around the edge. Thank YOU for doing these VI’s. Please, keep them coming! Anyway, again, thank you folks, sincerely.. Steve
