With the aim of promoting music in Mulanje, FOMO Studio started a few years ago with the sponsorship from FOMO administration. Though it is an organization’s Studio (FOMO), they allow general public to come and record. FOMO studio is located in Mulanje district.

The main purpose, of which they decided to create a studio, is to record what happens at FOMO organization, for instance; what is new with its healthy department, or events happening in Chitakale Trading Center.The studio is a non-profit recording studio, but when people come they pay a little sum of money, which is collected and given to the administration, where it can be used for buying food and distributed to the FOMO centres.

Although various people come to this studio, one of its workers named Seth complained that the majority of people do not know more about what they are supposed to do when they are in the studio  so they take time to teach them. Moreover it becomes difficult for them to be familiar with the instruments they use, in order to come up with their song,  he said while pointing at a micro phone.  Apart from waiting for outsiders to come and compose their songs, Seth goes to FOMO Centers like Kumwamba, Sazola, Namijingo, Chole, to shoot video and take audio clips. This activity is to encourage children from centers who are interested and posses the ability to sing, and compose songs.

‘‘Our desire is to put FOMO Studio on the map, we want to see people from various locations coming to their friendly studio, FOMO’’ Seth.
