In 2008 URBEATZ developed a project called Strive 2 Succeed: Getting Into The Music Industry. Funded by LCVS Digital Content Grants, the project was aimed at increasing young people's skills to digital media. The young people learnt how to use audio visual equipment. One of the outcomes was that they produced short production pieces about the music industry. The group travelled the UK to interview various professionals in the music business. These included artists, producers, presenters, radio pluggers and publicists. The young people hoped that the videos would give advice and information to other young people looking to gain access to the music industry. |
