Help Us Put Ottawa on the Global Stage
A Music Video, A Viral Challenge, A Movement for Change
Hello, my name is Wise Atangana, and I am an artist, poet, and community advocate. My journey began in Cameroon, where at the age of five, I walked 15 kilometers every day—barefoot—to attend school. Those walks shaped my resilience, dreams, and belief in the power of determination. Years later, I arrived in Canada, carrying nothing but hope, a passion for music, and a desire to make a difference.
Today, I’m proud to call Ottawa my home—a city rich in culture, diversity, and creativity. But there’s a challenge: our music scene, though vibrant, often goes unheard on the national and global stage. As someone who has experienced systemic barriers firsthand, I want to change that—not just for myself, but for all the talented voices in our community.
The Project
We’re creating something extraordinary:
- A music video for my song “Welcome to Ottawa”, showcasing our city’s unique beauty, culture, and people.
- A viral TikTok challenge to connect Ottawa’s story with the world, reaching millions globally.
- A movement to challenge discrimination in the music industry and give Ottawa’s music scene the respect it deserves.
This is not just a music project—it’s a chance to shine a light on our city, uplift our community, and create opportunities for local businesses and artists.
Why We Need Your Support
To bring this vision to life, we need your help. Producing a music video of this scale and launching a viral campaign requires significant resources:
- Professional filmmakers, editors, and crew.
- Marketing costs to ensure global reach.
- Community involvement: we want to feature real Ottawa businesses, landmarks, and residents in the video.
Your contribution will make it possible to create a music video that puts Ottawa in the spotlight and unites our community in a way that’s never been done before.
How Your Support Makes a Difference
- $25: Helps cover costumes and props to showcase Ottawa’s culture.
- $50: Funds filming at iconic Ottawa locations.
- $100: Supports hiring local artists, dancers, and creatives.
- $250+: Helps us amplify the TikTok challenge, reaching millions worldwide.
Every dollar brings us closer to making this dream a reality.
My Promise to You
This project is deeply personal to me. It’s a culmination of my journey—from a small village in Cameroon to standing as an independent artist in Canada. It’s about showing the world that Ottawa is more than just a city; it’s a community full of talent, heart, and stories waiting to be told.
When this project succeeds, it won’t just be my success—it’ll be OUR success. Together, we’ll make history and show the world what Ottawa is made of.
