Vocalists

Singers

MC’s

What will the programme involve and why should I apply?

This unique programme is designed to support aspiring musicians to develop their talents and to produce socially conscious music. The programme will have training sessions, including:

Vocal training

Lyric writing

Music production

Confidence and performance techniques

Each training sessions will be led by a Music Leader who is a specialist in their subject area. There will also be an Arts Award Facilitator present at all sessions to lead the group work, enabling the artists to complete and be awarded with a Bronze Arts Award at the end of the programme.

We are looking to recruit 15 talented artists who will work towards the creation of original music (some as collectives, some as soloists) that are inspired by social issues and topics in London communities. The selected artists will also have the opportunity to work in a recording studio to record their tracks and produce a collective album – to be published online for streaming. After the training sessions, studio time – the artists will take part in rehearsal sessions before we host a live performance, showcasing all the original music created by the young people. 

Artists who show particular commitment and promise will be invited to discuss being managed by You Press for future performances as freelance artists.

How long is the programme?

The Artist Development Programme will be for 15 weeks from 28th August to 4th December 2018 (first cohort). The training sessions will take place at Paddington Arts on every Tuesday from 6pm to 9pm. The programme is completely free with travel expenses covered. 

How do I apply?

Applications for the first cohort are now closed. There will be another cohort in early 2019 so make sure you follow us on social media to stay up to date with information on when we open applications again.

A couple of candid shots from our mental health and arts event, Crazy!

We hope you have enjoyed some of the previous content that we have uploaded in relation to this event. Lastly, we wanted to show some candid shots from the night and take the opportunity to say a massive thank you to the performers and wonderful audience and Allie's Art Club & The Lucky Club for collaborating with us.

Highlighting mental health issues is important to us at You Press because we understand how prevalent they are in society. We acknowledge that creating safe spaces to discuss mental health challenges can be incredibly impactful in reminding people that they are not alone. We are elated that through hosting crazy we was able to create that safe space and facilitate healthy and insightful discussions into mental health. Additionally, we were also able to bring light to how creativity and the arts can be a great means to managing mental health issues!

We look forward to hosting more events in the future centred around mental health and mental wellness.

After a three year pause due to the pandemic, this April we had the pleasure of bringing back our annual community dinner at Queen Victoria Seaman’s Rest (QVSR).

We are so pleased that we were able to create warm and joyful space for community members to come together and feast, whilst watching some amazing poetry performances.

Many were positively impacted by the dinner and expressed their utmost gratitude, some attendees were so passionate that they even helped us clean up!

Thank you to Queen Victoria Seaman’s Rest, all the attendees, performers & every person who helped make this event so special!

Check out this video to see more of what we got up to!
