We inspire, connect and open doors to the music industry so that MINORITISED young talent has an equal chance to realise their creative potential.
Inspired by the critically acclaimed and award-winning musician Abram Wilson, we provide visibility, access and opportunity within an industry which is often closed to all but the most privileged.
We meet young people exactly where they’re at
Whether that’s at school, in the community or online – and encourage them to find their unique musical identity.
We offer practical support to emerging musicians and music professionals
by sharing valuable connections and opportunities.
Latest ProjectS
This term we are running our first ever Future Sound Live project in Manchester, working with students aged 13-14 years from Manchester Co-operative Academies.

If the consumer frenzy of Black Friday gives you the ick, supporting a cause you care about on Giving Tuesday is an easy way to reset the balance! This year Giving Tuesday is on 29 November and we need to raise £4,000 by the end of the day. The money will go towards our grassroots Career Development Programme – which plays a part in addressing the inequalities in the music industry, by empowering artists from minoritised groups to get ahead and develop sustainable careers.
