We caught up with Jamie Reynolds following his workshop series with us.
βοΈJamie told us why he decided to get involved, as well as his top tips for those hoping for a career in music!
By supporting schools in educating young people on the different roles and opportunities within the music industry, we hope to highlight the right career for every skillset.
"FUTURES offers a light at the end of the all too long tunnel of musical prosperity." π Wonderful words on our mission from Liam Howe, who we were delighted to have join us for workshops at both Sunderland College and Hartlepool College earlier this year.
With an extensive career in DJ'ing, writing, and working at major record labels, Vanessa Maria is well placed to highlight the importance of exploring career paths and finding what works for you.
π« Finding your 'Why' π«
We love this tip from Vanessa about identifying the βwhyβ behind what you do, and how that can help you find your path.
HIGHLIGHT OF THE YEAR: I recently went back to school ππ
Was amazing to speak to so many young people at @SSSOSixthForm for the @your__futures program!!
Thereβs always looking for speakers so if your interested let me know!!!!!
Education, underfunding, and social biases are just some of the set backs that keep a creative career out of reach for many. There's still a long road to class equality in the music industry, but we're doing what we can to work towards a more inclusive industry.π
Messing around is important! Creativity drives innovation and is linked to improved mental health in young people. Sage advice from Danny L Harle βοΈ
Over half of young people make music. π€―
Imagine how many of those could make it in the creative industries if they were given access to the right guidance and opportunities.
"After the workshop, I feel more at ease knowing that there are many opportunities in the industry" - Alfie, 16
This comment from a workshop participant is the feedback we love to hear! π
