In their words

From the cohorts

Hype and Genius has been the best camp I've been to so far, simply because I have been able to actually make friendships outside of the camp that are genuinely passionate about their love for the game, thank you for such a golden opportunity.
Music Camp 2026TYX Studios
Being around the others really boosted my confidence and getting encouragement feedback from them. I've been able to breakthrough a lot of my doubts thanks to that.
Music Camp 2026TYX Studios
It’s impacted my delivery, I usually feel stuck on what to write but this time around I let go of my self limiting beliefs and was able to create from a new headspace.
Music Camp 2026TYX Studios
I feel more confident through this camp and feel lots more comfortable bringing ideas forward, making sure myself and others are comfortable in a room, and overall feeling happier as i've gained new friends from this experience!
Get It Done Camp 2024TYX Studios
This camp has helped me understand the importance of making music with a direction in mind. It allows for sessions to be more productive and efficient... It's let me work with high level equipment alongside high level producers.
Get It Done Camp 2024TYX Studios
This was the best business programme I have ever been on. The weekly classes and the topics were straight to the point and the overall vibe of the classes were amazing as everyone there is a creative to some capacity so everyone was really encouraging.
Creative Business Incubator2025
There was a lot I didn't know I didn't know, and the direction from Lemzi as well as the documents broke down how I could go about remoulding my artistic practice as a business.
Creative Business Incubator2025
Really good business incubator... actually easy to understand for neurodivergent individuals too with the worksheets and everything which is well sectioned, organised and easy to read.
Creative Business Incubator2025
This experience also allowed me to connect and understand what there is to offer at Warner and the best routes to get involved. I would really love to work at Warner and will be applying ASAP!
Warner Bros. Discovery Day2024
I had an incredible experience, connected with a lot of talented and like-minded individuals, gained a lot of valuable insights as many gems were dropped. I would definitely recommend any creative to attend a Discovery Day.
Warner Bros. Discovery Day2024
I loved the one on one-ness of the sessions. Sometimes it can be really hard to get specific questions answered when your an artist, but at the course it's really freeing to get answers.
Business of MusicDugdale Arts Centre · 2024
Programme was incredibly useful, felt like a university course... I feel I could do this as a career. I feel that I actually could do this full time.
Music Production Programme2023
Dealing with social anxiety I would always make music alone and never really have feedback. The course has taught me a lot about the mixing process but also inspired me to create and push my sound even further.
Music Production Programme2023
It had taught me how to perceive music on a professional level, especially when learning about record labels which has now inspired me to want to own an independent label so that it's as sustainable and fair to all artists.
Music Business Programme2023
I've found myself to be more confident in simply speaking to people. Throughout the course I've messaged friends I know who make music asking if they are interested in working with me. The course gave me the motivation to actually attempt to get this done.
