The Frequency School is a groundbreaking initiative which unites women from all 195 countries through a global song titled “195,” inspired by the vision of producing a truly global song with a woman from all countries. Spearheaded by Martina Fuchs and produced by U.S. Grammy-nominated and multi-platinum artist Maejor, this project seeks to amplify women’s voices and advocate for gender equality and mental health awareness. The song, which features women saying the word “equality” in their native languages, will be launched at the World Economic Forum in Davos in January 2025
1. What inspired the creation of a global song featuring women from all 195 countries?
Martina Fuchs:
It has always been my dream to produce the first song in history featuring every country on the planet. Our vision was to unite 195 women from all walks of life from around the globe in this pioneering and groundbreaking initiative to advocate for gender equality and the rights of women and girls, and to help people struggling with mental health issues. Gender equality is not only a fundamental human right, but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world
The “195” song uses the 528 Hz “Love” sound healing frequency and is produced by my business partner of the Frequency School, U.S. Grammy-nominated and multi-platinum producer, singer and songwriter Maejor.
Over the past year, the Frequency School together with our Co-Founders Kingsley Maduka and Brandon Lee have embarked on a global journey to bring music and wellness experiences, immersive art installations and education resources around the globe, from Morocco to Brazil, China to the UAE, Switzerland to India, and many more places. This has further inspired our mission.
2. How does the project aim to unite women globally through music?
Maejor:
Our vision is to add to a global movement with the universal language of music. We want to unite people and especially empower women and underserved communities all around the world.
For this first song, we chose to focus on women as very often their voices are still not heard and we wanted to amplify them. Launching it at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos in January 2025 together with our partner the Female Quotient and other global partners is a great platform to help connect more women under our common cause of equality.

Martina Fuchs:
Women are the backbone of humanity. During the process of gathering all the voices and videos from the 195 women, I realized our unity and strength through life’s struggles and our power to overcome obstacles and hardship still with dignity and pride.
According to the WEF’s 2024 Global Gender Gap Index, it will still take 134 years to reach full gender parity – that’s roughly five generations beyond the 2030 Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target! For all 146 countries included in the report, the global gender gap currently stands at only 68.5% closed. These are shocking and unacceptable numbers. The prospects for women and girls also still continue to be threatened by economic downturns and geopolitical conflicts around the world. We need better government policies, private sector action and financial resources to close the gap once and for all!
Brandon Lee:
Music is a universal language that transcends barriers, and this project leverages its power to unite women globally under the shared vision of equality. The beauty of this initiative lies in its ability to weave together the unique dialects and interpretations of equality from around the world, creating a single, harmonious expression.
Maejor has brilliantly merged these diverse sounds and voices into a cohesive composition, fostering unity in harmony. The result is “195”, a song that creates a profound and special bond between the world and women everywhere. Through this masterpiece, the project celebrates the strength, resilience, and connection of women, united by a shared commitment to equality and empowered by the universal language of music.
3. Why was the word “Equality” chosen as the key message for this global song?
Martina Fuchs:
The word “equality” can mean different things in various cultures and contexts. In the song, each woman just says one single but very powerful word: “EQUALITY” in her native tongue or national language. For example, in French it was “égalité”, in Chinese “平等”, in Arabic “المساواة”, etc. The song reflects the world’s mosaic of cultures and is a kaleidoscope of languages, ranging from Sango in the Central African Republic, to Spanish in Costa Rica, Maori in New Zealand, Dzongkha in Bhutan, or Latvian in Latvia, etc. We also aim to submit the initiative for the Guinness World Records! Please keep your fingers crossed.
We started the project in November only and spent 4 weeks looking for ordinary women from different socio-economic backgrounds using friend connections, social media platforms, as well as search engines. It has been a marathon! Despite globalization and social media, access in some of the world’s more remote locations remains a challenge.
4. Tell us more about the production of the song?
Maejor:
We chose 528 Hz for the track as it’s often referred to as the ‘love frequency’, or the frequency of transformation and miracles. It provides a powerful foundation for creating an environment where equality can flourish. By resonating with a frequency linked to unconditional love, we wanted to promote more respect and equity for women around the globe, as well as deep inner healing and a state of peace. The vibration of 528 Hz can help inspire positive action and empathy and people to act more kindly and inclusively.
Martina Fuchs:
For the music video, we were inspired by the murmuration of birds and nature’s synchronicity. The creative direction and visual art elements by our content director Aaron Dawson evoke raw emotions and reflect the power and harmony of women, and their aspiration for freedom and collective strength.
5. How will sound healing frequencies be incorporated into the song’s production?

Maejor:
According to scientific studies and music theory, Solfeggio frequencies ranging from 174 Hz to 963 Hz, offer unique sound patterns that promote relaxation, stress relief, and overall well-being. Since ancient times in Egypt, India or Aboriginal Australia, these frequencies have shown to positively impact mental, emotional, and physical health by generating vibrations that help achieve a state of calm and balance of the mind, body and spirit.
I used the 528 Hz sound healing frequency, sounds of birds and the heartbeat as instrumental elements. The “195 song” aims to positively shift the world’s frequency, be a friend to humanity, and trigger a positive impact by uniting and empowering women worldwide. We produced three versions: the original, an afrobeats version, and a house one. As a cancer survivor, I have been inspired by sound therapy and frequencies through my healing journey and now want to spread the power of music for mental health and wellbeing around the globe.
6. How will the song premiere at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in January impact its reach?
Maejor:
Some 3000 leaders from politics, business, civil society and media will gather at the WEF’s Annual Meeting in Davos from Jan. 20-25. It’s a huge and impactful platform to amplify the voices of women across industries and spread our message of “EQUALITY”. We have some women who participated in the song who will also be present with us, for example the voices of Austria, Sri Lanka, France, Viet Nam, or Romania.
Martina Fuchs:
In 2024, LinkedIn data showed that women’s workforce representation remains far below men’s across nearly every industry and economy, with women accounting for 42% of the global workforce and only 31.7% of senior leaders. This has to change. The scale and speed of progress remains deeply insufficient to achieve gender equality by 2030. We want to influence policymakers and business leaders coming to Davos to take action.
That’s why we teamed up leading women empowerment organization The Female Quotient which has more than 5 million social media followers as our main partner as well as other partners including: 100 Women @ Davos, Learnstar, International Institute for Management Development (IMD), Female Founders Initiative Global, Africa Global Gender Academy (AGGA), Equal Voice, The Lion Academy, The Equality Institute, Montreux Jazz Festival China, Bullock Inclusion, Global Island Partnership (GLISPA), Caribbean Women’s Network, Läderach, NOTA Inclusion, Women Future Cities Initiative, LGT Private Banking, the Global CSR Foundation (GCSRF), the Innovation Foundation by Adecco Group, the Global Women’s Institute at the George Washington University, or the OpenDesk.
7. You and your team recently opened your first Frequency School. Tell us more about your vision and global expansion plans?
Maejor:
We launched the Frequency School at the world-renowned Aiglon College in Switzerland in September to empower students through healing frequencies and sound therapy to be a tool for their mental health and well-being.
Our initiative is designed to harness the transformative power of music for the holistic development of mainly young people, women and marginalized communities, focusing on the mind, body, and spirit. My vision initially was to provide the youth with wellness tools that I wish I had when I was in school like sound therapy and meditation. Those are things that resonate with me because I’m a professional musician but as The Frequency School grows, we’re adding layers of expertise. We’ll add nutrition experts to provide value on this subject. We’ll add experts in emotional intelligence or financial intelligence to add value in these spaces.
Through services like music therapy, education, and performance, we want to empower individuals to lead more balanced, healthy, and fulfilling lives. The approach integrates the latest in music therapy with traditional wellness practices to support the whole person.
Kingsley Maduka:
The Frequency School is such an amazing platform for utilizing and amplifying tools – working at the intersection of music, wellness, mental health and education is some of the most impactful work I’ve been able to be a part of. Providing wellness-based solutions to academia and corporate organizations for problems such as anxiety, depression, sleep, focus, employee burnout, and performance optimization has allowed us to work with some world class organizations and academic institutions.
Our vision is to keep growing our community by partnering with more academic institutions, corporate organizations and events to showcase sound therapy and other wellness resources globally.
Brandon Lee:
Our vision for the Frequency School is rooted in the universal power of sound to positively impact the mind and body. Sound transcends boundaries – it resonates with all genders, ages, and cultures, making its benefits accessible to everyone. At its core, our mission is to help individuals around the world unlock their fullest potential by focusing on holistic improvement.
We believe in the transformative philosophy of becoming 1% better every day – mind, body, and spirit. Through intentional use of sound frequencies, we aim to cultivate balance, reduce stress, and inspire growth in all areas of life.
Our global expansion plans are driven by this commitment to universal well-being. We envision Frequency Schools in diverse regions, creating hubs of healing and connection. By integrating sound therapy into daily wellness practices worldwide, we hope to inspire a ripple effect of positive change across the globe.
Martina Fuchs:
Over the past year, we have launched and curated dozens of sound healing and mental health events, classes for high school children as well as business executives, collaborated with local artists and designed immersive art installations.
We have travelled around the world to organize workshops and immersive sound healing experiences at venues such as the iconic KOKO in London (in partnership with IMD), the Web Summit in Doha and in Rio de Janeiro, GITEX Africa in Marrakesh, GITEX Global in Dubai, a United Nations Leadership Retreat and workshop at Tsinghua University in Beijing, the Montreux Jazz Festival China and Duke Kunshan University in Suzhou, China.
We also just signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Gucheng Middle School in Beijing and are very open to collaborations with corporate partners and academic institutions, as well as healthcare providers and clinics around the world.
We have big plans in store for our global expansion plans in 2025, more partnerships and collaborations, and hope to set up our first physical Frequency School. Stay tuned!
