The standard continues to get higher in terms of young people’s original work, and we have had a number of young people release independently with our help this term – as well as make great inroads within the UK Music Scene. Some have played major festivals and sold out prestigious venues around the UK, and multiple young people have been featured on BBC Introducing/Radio 1.
If you love their work as much as we do and want to sling us a donation on bandcamp while listening, feel free to do so! You can also simply enter zero cause we just want you to listen!
If you are aged 12-18 and interested in playing, recording, or performing ANY genre of music please email ryan@grantonyouth.com for further details or check out our website at www.grantonyouth.com/home/what-we-do/mixtape-music-club/.
This is a friendly and supportive group using peer education to build and support skills and performance. Youth work staff and music tutors work with young people to learn a variety of instruments/vocal coaching/song-writing; as well as lessons about the music industry, events jobs, and operating as an independent musician.
