Industry Networks
Connect with the industry. Learn from the people shaping it.
Throughout the 16-week MU Residency, residents gain direct access to the creative industries through masterclasses, practical workshops, industry talks and visits to record labels, studios and creative organisations. These experiences provide opportunities to learn directly from professionals, build valuable connections and gain a real-world understanding of how the industry works.
Residents will visit Since ’93, part of the RCA Label Group at Sony Music UK, for an exclusive behind-the-scenes industry experience. The visit will include a guided tour of the offices, insight into the workings of a major record label, and an industry talk and Q&A with music professionals, giving residents first-hand knowledge of artist development and the wider music business.
Residents will have the opportunity to meet their regional BBC Introducing team and take part in an exclusive industry masterclass. The team will provide insight into how BBC Introducing works, how to submit music, what they look for when discovering new talent, and the wider opportunities available to emerging artists across the BBC. Residents will also have the opportunity to ask questions directly, helping them better understand how to present their music and build relationships with radio and the wider industry.
Pathways Into Music is a not-for-profit organisation launched by CMU (Complete Music Update) to help early-career music-makers understand and navigate their pathways into professional music careers.
Pathways Into Music will deliver an interactive music business masterclass covering making money from music rights, planning and promoting releases on a limited budget, and generating income through live music. Residents will gain practical knowledge around copyright and royalties, DIY distribution, marketing and audience growth, live performance and the commercial foundations needed to build a sustainable music career.
