"Jovanka did a VR onboarding session with six of our team for three hours. She's great in every way, from picking each person up where they begin in their technical understanding and the right mix of being entertaining and extremely clear. In addition to providing us with a history of the metaverse, Jovanka created customized (beautiful) VR spaces for our team to meet and share creative experiences. I highly recommend this experience/onboarding session for other companies and artists to get a feel for what's possible in the metaverse. It was a mind-blowing experience for the crew – and yet everybody felt safe on every step of the journey. "

Laudation – HYPE Award 2023 for"Sustained Commitment to Young Professional Support"

By Olaf Kretschmar, Chairman BV Pop I Cluster Manager Berlin Music Commission eG – President Landesmusikrat Berlin dV.“Jovanka von Wilsdorf is an absolute trailblazer. And she likes to share her discoveries and explorations with others! She does this with particular dedication to people who do not have access to the elite power circles of the music industry but who could nevertheless be decisive for the future of this industry. In her commitment as a coach, she has also become a major driving force behind the urgently needed transformation of the German music industry.Her commitment is particularly explosive because she is always one step ahead of the industry's vested representatives: For her, empowerment has always meant mastering future technology from the very beginning. Jovanka's expertise at the interface of music composition, songwriting, and production with AI software is unique in Germany. She has never joined in the industry's lamentations about evil technology, supposedly responsible for destroying business models and injustices of all kinds. On the contrary: the subject is and remains the human being. And it is not THE OTHERS; for Jovanka, it is always WE who have to shape technology and take responsibility for the future.She has gone ahead here with trend-setting practical projects: - DIANA AI-Songcontest- Female Producer Prize: For more visibility of women in the music industry, to name just two current ones.This leads me to a third point that distinguishes her: Because it's about us, as we all sit here, we need to connect well with each other. But that's not a sterile business thing; it's an emotional and deeply human act. Jovanka von Wilsdorf always does her job with a great deal of warmth. In fact, the focus of her actions is not technology at all but our kindness, attention, and connection with each other. Only when we are connected in this way can we shape our lives, technology, and the future. And that's exactly what she does herself. That's why it's so much fun to work with her, and I'm so happy to have met her in my life.”
