Breaking Into Music is a Creative Industries Day curated by the Oh Yeah Music Centre as part of the annual Sound of Belfast Festival in November. It is designed to empower Northern Ireland’s youth by unlocking the career potential of the arts (with focus on music) in an engaging and interactive setting. It is an immersive one day experience at Oh Yeah, tailored to young individuals aged 14-21 with a penchant for creativity and an interest in the music industry.
This year's theme is breaking into the live music industry. Did you know that roughly 70% of all jobs in music in Northern Ireland are provided by the live sector? The aim of the day is to explore the wide range of jobs available here and how you can find opportunities for a future in this industry.
