The Frequency School Sets New Guinness World Record
The Frequency School has accomplished an impressive milestone by breaking the Guinness World Record for the "Most nationalities to contribute vocals to a musical recording (single song)." This record-breaking song, titled "195," was premiered during the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, on January 20, 2025. The initiative behind the song aims to raise awareness of gender equality and promote the mental health and well-being of women worldwide.
The Vision of '195'
"195" is not just an ordinary song; it is a groundbreaking musical composition that features one woman from each of the world’s 195 countries. Each woman pronounced the word “EQUALITY” in her native tongue, and these contributions were recorded as part of the song. The project was masterminded by a team of visionaries, including Grammy-nominated producer Maejor and co-founders Martina Fuchs, Kingsley M, Brandon Lee, and Aaron Dawson, who together cultivate a creative platform that intertwines music with social consciousness.
The use of 528 Hz, often termed the 'Love Frequency,' further emphasizes the song’s transformative properties, enhancing emotional healing and promoting a message of unity and empowerment. Maejor described the project as a testament to music's universal language and its potential to foster compassion, peace, and harmony across the globe. He stated, “We aim to inspire positive action towards greater respect and fairness for women and improve mental well-being — we hope this resonance enables a more inclusive society.”
The Impact of the Project
Women's participation in the project was verified by a Guinness World Records adjudicator, ensuring transparency and authenticity. Martina Fuchs, the executive producer and co-founder of the Frequency School, expressed her elation by stating, “It's a dream come true to have produced the first song uniting women from every corner of the globe. This achievement is just the beginning; we are committed to advocating for gender equality and uplifting those struggling with mental health issues.”
The initiative was fueled by the belief that music can serve as a healing agent, drawing on natural sounds such as bird songs and heartbeat rhythms, which were found instrumental in creating a sense of well-being and connection among listeners.
Empowerment Through Music
According to Kingsley Maduka, co-founder of the Frequency School, the project represents a vital step towards women’s empowerment worldwide, noting, “It’s crucial for men to support this cause.” He highlighted the importance of wellness and mental health, reinforcing the idea that initiatives like this can work at the intersection of music and healing.
Brandon Lee reflected on the foundational role of women in society, stating, “Every individual enters this world through a woman. Women are the heartbeat of humanity, and contributing to this project is an honor that amplifies our mission worldwide.” Likewise, Aaron Dawson shared his gratitude for all women, citing personal inspirations throughout his life and the necessity of recognizing women’s contributions to a better world.
The program not only celebrated women's voices but also aimed to amplify the stories of women facing systemic barriers. Miriam Moriati, a representative from the Kiribati Rotaract Youth Club, shared her pride in representing her small Pacific nation and highlighting local women's struggles with gender equality.
A Call to Action
The song also engaged the younger generation. Sawilanji Nachula, a 13-year-old student in Zambia, expressed her aspirations for the future while acknowledging the heroic endeavors of women through history. Her participation marks the involvement of youth alongside women leading change today.
As the world continues to grapple with issues of gender disparity, initiatives like the Frequency School's "195" project become increasingly vital. By uniting women from diverse backgrounds through music, they foster a powerful message of solidarity, resilience, and hope.
