RAP IT UP

“VOX is an amazing opportunity for aspiring singers, rappers or MCs in the North East. Unlike controversial courses that prepare people for the disappointment of X Factor auditions, VOX has an emphasis on creative and professional development; there is a long term approach with mentorship from expert producers. We’re always amazed with the standard of tracks each year; the collaborations continually produce interesting and high quality results.” Generator, the UK’s leading Music Development Agency, is looking for the best emerging vocalists, MC’s and rappers (aged 16-24) who are serious about their music and want to take it to the next level through taking part in the VOX programme.

Led by successful regional and international producers Wayne McDonald (The ILLionaires), Mark Lowry (Shindig), Smoove (Smoove and Turrell), John Elliott (Trafik) and Oscar Cassidy (Nick Pride & The Pimptones) the five selected participants will be supported to develop and experiment with their own style and skills, record industry standard tracks, work in a professional studio environment and receive expert industry training and artist development to fast-track their singing careers.

The VOX producers will cater to the vocal stylistic preferences of the applicant allowing the artist to create the record they want.

The programme will begin on the 29th June 2015 and will last 10 weeks. While there will be no cost to participate, spaces will be extremely limited.

VOX will be linked intrinsically to the industry through the FFWD Masterclass programme which involves high profile producers and songwriters delivering 12 masterclasses throughout the year where they will offer insights into their own work, and creative processes but most importantly, offer information on their individual routes into the industry l

DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS IS 8TH OF JANUARY 2016
