The B-Side
The B-Side is on a mission to empower the next generation of innovative music-industry leaders by connecting the talent and vision of young people with the knowledge, guidance, and support they need to succeed in the creative sector. This program offers young people (ages 14–22) hands-on opportunities to develop a comprehensive understanding of the music business—from artist management and marketing to ethical decision-making in professional settings.
Through workshops, field trips, and guest speaker panels, young people not only learn the ins –and outs of the industry but also gain the insight and skills needed to envision their own career paths. Equipped with essential skills, young people are prepared to begin their career journey with integrity, creativity, and confidence, becoming leaders that will shape the future.
