Applications are now closed for the Conscious NXT Academy
Conscious NXT Academy is a creative, 10-session intensive program, running from 24 June - 10 August. Participants will gain behind-the-scenes insight - receiving mentorship and opportunities in songwriting, production, performance, marketing and business skills, paving the way for post-school pathways in the music industry.
The Academy participants will be split into two groups to collaborate on writing, producing, professionally recording and releasing an original song. As part of the experience, they will also develop accompanying cover artwork for the release and have individual and group professional press shots captured, giving them hands-on experience in the creative and promotional aspects of the music industry.
