Artist independence is at the core of everything we do. We have now taken a step further to also empower the younger generation to learn on the go and become the most influential people in the music business.

We all know that experience and knowledge are essential to get started, which is why we’ve launched a series of fast track training modules. We are here for you and want to be part of the beginning of your journey towards career success.

The academy will run for one week, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, with a music summit mid week on Wednesday focused on the future of live music and live streaming.

By the end of the course, students will have the opportunity of entering our ‘join the team’ test, in which we will be selecting two candidates for an internship with us.

We want this to be hands-on, so this is a wonderful chance of also securing your very first job in the industry! We will be personally selecting our students, so keep in mind places are limited.
