Supported by Create NSW, this program offers comprehensive resources and mentorship.

Key partners include Cult Artists, Good Intent, Xelon Entertainment, and Gaga Publishing, ensuring artists receive professional guidance and industry opportunities. From creation to presentation, we empower artists to thrive.

Our 'Up Next Artist Development Residency' is a cutting edge program aimed at dismantling barriers in music creation for often overlooked voices in the industry, focusing on women, trans, non-binary, and LGBTQIA+ artists.

Our goal is simply to offer genuine support and resources to help emerging artists thrive in the midst of a time when it has never been harder to launch as an artist. With many of the studios and creative spaces in our corner of the world closing down, we are still standing and determined to carve a strong pathway into the future of music in Australia.

Our program consists of providing studio residencies, mentorship, and a clear pathway to professional release including distribution & sync licensing. We provide access to studios, mentorship sessions, networking opportunities and industry showcases, all designed to empower the artists on their journey. This initiative is deeply personal for us as artists & industry professionals ourselves, we've encountered our fair share of obstacles in the industry. We're leveraging some of our experiences, learnings & knowledge to provide a program that champions inclusivity and artistic growth.

Our long term vision is to foster individual development as well as contribute to a more equitable Australian music culture. By offering mentorship, skill-sharing and valuable connections, we aim for lasting outcomes that positively impact artists' careers.

Our program is a nurturing space for artists to explore their creativity and bring their projects to fruition. This supportive experience ensures artists carve their own unique path in an industry that lacks a conventional roadmap, ultimately leading to sustained career growth.
