The Forté Project is an exciting new music development scheme hoping to uncover and support the next bright young things in music emerging from South Wales.
It is created and ran by Young Promoters Network in which i have a prominent role, it is also in co-ordination with SONIG Youth Music, Arts Connect and Arts Council of Wales.
The Forté Project aims to take ten emerging artists from regions which span across the areas of Rhondda Cynon Taff, Caerphilly, Merthyr Tydfil, Bridgend and the Vale of Glamorgan, collectively known as Arts Connect.
The ten chosen artists will work alongside assigned industry mentors who will support the artist on their journey at a critical point in their musical career. The project is centred around key creative and career development support areas which will further improve their chances of achieving successful, long-term professional careers. The artists will gain experience from song-writing workshops, industry related seminars, signposted opportunities, rehearsal space, recording sessions, bespoke audience development support and a range of unique live opportunities throughout the year.
This is something I continue to work on and a project that i am very passionate about.
