The Sarah Nulty Power of Music Foundation has funded a wonderful new project being organised by the Sheffield Music School. The project is for some of Sheffield's most talented young female identifying women; supporting their songwriting and stage performance. The project also aims to help them navigate the music industry and bring in other mentees to work with and make connections with. Lucy and Gina from Before Breakfast are leading this project
They will be putting on a mini music festival on the 12th of September for some of them NTS to perform at alongside other more well established acts.
The aim of the mentorship scheme is to connect young artists with music industry professionals, providing opportunities to develop the skills necessary for developing a career in music. The scheme recognises that female identifying musicians, producers and songwriters are currently heavily underrepresented in music industries. They therefore actively recruit female identifying musicians for a program through partner work with Sheffield music hub.
