ENNY, one of the most talented rappers in the UK right now, has teamed up with producer TSB, photographer Elliot Hensford and creator Tajana Tokyo for a mentorship programme designed to help young people get into the music industry. Dubbed the ‘Freeform Forum’, the programme has been backed by Relentless and UK arts organisation Small Green Shoots.
With 1 in 5 young people wanting to work in the music industry, many don’t have the network or resources to get a footing within the space. Freeform Forum aims to change that offering a 6 week programme led by the names previously mentioned to break down those barriers. One of the 12 young creatives chosen to take part stands a chance to secure a £10,000 fund to propel their visionary music project forward, with the help of one mentor across music photography, video or production.
Moreover, the mentors have also created a ‘Mentor Hub’ that will be available from the Freeform Forum website. This will allow those interested in breaking into the music industry the opportunity to tap in with each mentor’s tips and tricks as to how they have reached their position within their respective spaces.
