Over three months, White Hut Elevate will offer successful applicants hands-on, expert-led support, from sessions on vocal health, to workshops on song rights and mentorship from music industry legends. At the end of the programme, participants will also have three of their songs professionally recorded at White Hut Studio.
It’s headed up by SILVASTONE, Afrobeats artist, producer, songwriter, MOBO Award nominee, and winner of the 2024 Diversity Champion award at the Association of Independent Music Awards.
