Dylan Willows
Foundation for Music
Carrying the Mic Forward.
The Dylan Willows Foundation for Music (DWFM) was established to honour the legacy of Dylan Willows, a beloved voice in Victoria’s music scene and a tireless advocate for local artists. For over 20 years, Dylan brought music, stories, and people together on the airwaves and in real life. He had a gift for hearing potential in people — and helping them believe in themselves.
Today, we carry that mission forward.
Embodying Dylan's spirit, DWFM empowers young and emerging musicians in Victoria through mentorship, education, and opportunity. We believe that music has the power to transform lives — and that every artist deserves the chance to be heard, regardless of background or circumstance. Whether it's helping someone record their first demo, learn the ropes of the music business, or take the stage for the first time, we exist to nurture the same community Dylan so passionately championed — and to ensure his love for music continues to echo into the future.
Dylan gave everything to the music. Now we give it back.
