Music Industry Event Launches At Isle Of Wight's Ventnor Exchange

A new crash course is on offer for young, creative Islanders interested in a career in the music industry.

Islanders are being invited to chat to and learn from a range of top industry professionals from places like Spotify, agency ATC Live who represent bands including Fontaines D.C. and Mac Demarco.

And Islanders will have the chance to put questions to those who run successful independent labels like Big Scary Monsters and Alcopop! 

The event has been launched through its new platform called Brave Island, as previously reported by Isle of Wight Radio.

Soundcheck, a new type of platform for 14 - 25-year-olds on the Island -  will also be covering topics such as how to get signed, how to get your music heard, artist’s personal experiences as well as hearing from a music producer, learning about PR and what different roles there are within a record label – this event isn’t just for artists but any young Islanders interested in the music industry!

The virtual event is taking place via Zoom on Saturday 27 March, from 11am - 4.15pm, with additional content to be made available on the Ventnor Exchange website on the day.
