How The Program Works
Each month, youth enrolled receive two 60-minute video workshops over Zoom on music production and one additional topic. Topics include songwriting, marketing/PR, music business, video production, and touring/live performance. Those unable to attend the live workshops can access the recorded videos on the Program's archive page.
Between workshops, youth work on related assignments and are given feedback from our team. Assignments are due on flexible terms to accommodate school and holiday schedules.
The Program culminates into youth each producing:
A song promoting a social justice theme
A short Artist promotional video
A press release
An Artist landing page
Youth must apply to this Program and are accepted based on their needs, potential, and commitment. Applications are evaluated through surveys, an audition recording, and a short letter describing why they want this experience.
The enrollment fee of $1,500 is waived for ALL youth regardless of socio-economic status. This is made possible thanks to our generous supporters. Youth Program works will be shared with their supporter(s) at the end of the Program.
All FYR360 youths receive priority consideration on FYR releases. If selected, they receive a $500 stipend, free professional production and promotion support, and global distribution on all major platforms while retaining 100% of the rights to their music.
