Last night marked the final session of YUAF Futures: The Artist & Industry Programme for Cohort 31! 🎢

Over the past 6 weeks, eight young people have explored different pathways into the music and creative industries through sessions with BBC, PRS, Sony Music Publishing, Ditto Management, DJ workshops and more. 🎢

From building confidence through direct industry contact, to connecting with new people and opportunities, it’s been amazing watching this cohort grow. A huge thank you as well to our brilliant volunteer who helped with cohort support.

Congratulations to all of you, you brought your energy, openness and talent to every session. We’re excited to see where your journey goes πŸ’›
