We’re excited to announce that we have again teamed up with the renowned Resident Advisor to launch a new scholarship programme, the Young Producers Scholarship. This scholarship initiative was created to help passionate musicians who may not have the opportunities or funding to reach the heights that they are capable of. This year, we have extended the initiative to not only include a London programme but courses in both Los Angeles and online.
The three recipients of our collaborative programme with RA will be awarded either a full scholarship to the CertHE Music Production & DJ Practice course worth over £9,000 starting in 11th, April 2022 at our HQ in the heart of London’s creative hub, Shoreditch, a full scholarship to the Music Production & DJ Performance Master Diploma in Los Angeles or the CertHE Music Production & Sound Engineering (online).
These extensive courses are some of our most popular available, featuring modules such as Intro to Music Production, DJ Skills, Music Composition, Sound Design, Art of Mixing, Music Industry and more, making it perfect for anyone looking to kickstart their career in the music business. Show us your outstanding talent and your will to work and PB & RA can take you as far as you want to go.
One of our previous winners, Tailor Jae, has since gone on to play alongside the likes of Kurupt FM, Spooky and more and guested on Rinse FM as well as Keep Hush UK alongside Conducta and the Kiwi Rekords crew.
