This course is an ideal way of empowering artists and musicians to manage their professional development in anticipation of working in the music industry.
Hugo Bedford

The Artist Development course has been designed to empower artists and musicians to develop their professional profile over a specific period.

The focus of the course is on A&R development. The aim is to allow the artist the opportunity to deconstruct and rebuild their brand through a mentored process. This will include the creation of a target-driven development plan culminating in a final presentation or showcase. The result is a unique and exciting provision which is set to fashion tomorrow’s music.
