Story
Co Labs is a new initiative to help creative young people who have been treated for cancer or have long term health conditions to forge their own career paths through a programme of music skills development, music industry experience and mentorship, facilitated by our professional, award winning musicians.
Your donation will help to make our initiative sustainable by ensuring we can pay our facilitators the standard music industry rates while they mentor our incredibly talented cohort of artists through writing, recording and releasing their own album together, and throwing a launch party to celebrate the release.
Our creatives will spend 8 weeks jamming and writing together while they develop their musical skills through one to one sessions with a musician of their choice. They will attend a creative retreat in the Lake District, supported by Youth Support Co-ordinator Lara Perkins, and write their individual 1, 2 & 5 year career plans with the help of their chosen mentor.
The group will record their pieces at the Roundhouse Creative Studios, which will then be professional mixed, mastered and released digitally through Kudos Records.
Real industry professionals will be invited to attend the album launch party where our artists will showcase their work live in front of an audience at The Roundhouse Studio Theatre, London.
We cannot wait!
Thank you for your support. <3
