Young people in Kirklees spent an evening at Conscious Youth in Huddersfield. The evening gave young people the chance to find out about music industry roles and opportunities in the Yorkshire region and to hear from artists Kemmi Gill and Chiedu Oraka. Launchpad Youth Progression Coordinator, Satnam, led a Q&A with the artists to find out about their start in the music industry and journey so far, their career highlights, any barriers and how to overcome them as well as helpful tips for young people considering a career in the music industry. The evening ended with the artists and young people showcasing their musical talents.
Quotes from participants: “I leant about youth funds and charities. The artists had similar starts to us.” “I learnt that other artists followed similar journeys to what I’m going through and how to access online advice and what launchpad can provide for me.”
