INSTITUTIONAL PARTNERS
Inspired By Excellence & Innovation
We offer a wide range of high quality of teaching and Webinars.
Funktasy Academy is dedicated to shaping the future of the entertainment industry by providing high-quality education, training, webinars and mentorship for artists, producers, and industry professionals worldwide.
As an extension of Funktasy Records and Funktasy Magazine, we have built a reputation as a global leader in music, media, and culture. With a strong presence in the industry, Funktasy has worked with artists and creators from around the world, released groundbreaking music, and developed a digital publication that continues to influence the entertainment landscape.
Recognizing the need for structured, real-world learning, we launched a global internship program in 2021, offering hands-on experience in A&R, marketing, editorial, and social media management. As the program grew, so did the demand for more in-depth industry education—leading to the creation of Funktasy Academy, an online learning platform designed to empower creatives, entrepreneurs, and innovators worldwide.
At the helm of this vision is Hoss, Funktasy’s founder, an industry leader, and a sought-after public speaker who has shared insights at prestigious institutions and events around the world. His experience in A&R, music business, and digital marketing has shaped Funktasy into a powerhouse, and now, through Funktasy Academy, he continues to educate and mentor the next generation of industry leaders.

By learning directly from experts who live and breathe the industry, students gain insider knowledge, proven strategies, and hands-on skills needed to succeed.
Flexible Learning for Every Student
We offer a range of cousrses across multiple subject areas, ensuring that every student can find a learning format that suits their needs. Whether you thrive in interactive discussions with trainers and peers, prefer self-paced e-learning, or want a mix of both, Funktasy Academy provides blended learning opportunities to give you the best of both worlds.
If you prefer live sessions with industry experts, we offer structured programs where you can engage in discussions and network with fellow students. If you value the flexibility of learning on your own time, our e-learning courses provide high-quality, self-paced content accessible anytime, anywhere. And for those who want a combination of both, our blended learning options ensure that even if you can’t attend every live session, you still receive a complete, immersive educational experience.
