Are you a DIY songwriter seeking wisdom on how to navigate sharing your art with the world?
Only 10% of our Next Stage network members feel confident in self-promoting their work (Next Stage Snapshot 2024), and we are dedicated to empowering our Next Stage members by providing genuine opportunities and support for deaf, disabled and neurodivergent artists to build their confidence and skills.
This is why we’re thrilled to announce the return of our A&R Clinic this summer, made possible through our continued partnership with Blue Raincoat Music / Chrysalis Records and Reservoir Media. We appreciate that this partnership has allowed us to offer valuable opportunities like this to our network members with meaningful, tailored experiences.
Charlie, the team, and I are delighted to be supporting Attitude is Everything again this year. We’ve enjoyed working with the members and providing opportunities to enable them to develop and help navigate the wonderful world of music.
Aine Markey, General Manager at Blue Raincoat Music / Chrysalis Records
What is the A&R Clinic?
We are providing seven members of the Next Stage Network an opportunity to meet 1:1 with the Creative Team at Reservoir Media at their London Office, or remotely if you are based out of London in the UK.
Reservoir Media’s roster includes Grammy Award winning songwriters, who have written for major artists such as Beyoncé and Sabrina Carpenter.
For the launch of the A&R Clinic, we are hosting an AMA session on Monday 7th July at 4pm. Charlie and Tiff from Reservoir Media will be demystifying what an A&R role in a publishing company entails, and will be taking questions about the A&R Clinic and discussing what people can expect from it. This is a great chance to ask any of those burning questions you might have about the A&R Clinic!
