Over nine months, participants progress through a clearly mapped journey led by our Talent Development Specialist. The pathway blends:

Targeted Mentoring
Regular one-to-one sessions with Charlene and a hand-picked roster of industry experts.

Practical Workshops
Deep dives into vocal coaching, songwriting craft, funding applications, festival booking, copyright & IP protection, and financial management.

Real-World Checkpoints
Staged performance and promotion milestones designed to mirror professional industry timelines.

This structure ensures that by programme’s end, each act has the confidence, network, and know-how to navigate the music industry independently.

Artists don’t just leave with theory, they leave with deliverables and tangible support that accelerate their next release cycle:

Facilities & Production
Complementary rehearsal hours in Oh Yeah’s rehearsal rooms.

Dedicated recording time with an in-house engineer.

Professional Development
Personalised PR & marketing strategy sessions.

A high-quality photoshoot and assisted biography writing.

Release-Ready Package
Guidance through official single/EP release planning.

Ongoing promotional support to maximise reach.

The result: a polished artistic product, an expanded professional network, and the operational skills to sustain a long-term career in music.

Applications for the 2025/26 cohort have wrapped, but don’t waste a perfectly good intermission. Use the months ahead to get stage-ready for when we hit REC again next spring.

Tighten your tunes
Rehearse, rewrite, and road-test until your best three tracks hum like a perfectly tuned snare.

Gig
Open mics, rooftops, auntie’s birthday - every crowd is free R&D for your live chops.

Network
Come along to our workshops, panels, and showcases; networking’s just a fancy word for making mates who get you gigs.
