First Steps into the Music Industry: LMA on Tour

Are you interested in a music-related career, getting started in music, developing your own projects, or finding out what opportunities exist across the music sector?

First Steps into the Music Industry: LMA on Tour is a free, discussion-led session for young people, emerging artists, students, musicians, producers, promoters, event organisers and anyone interested in taking their first or next steps in music.

The session will shine a light on the wide range of career possibilities across the music sector, share practical insights, and help demonstrate that music-related careers are realistic and possible for people in the area.

We’ll explore themes including:

Music careers and industry pathways
Building confidence and developing your own projects
Running events and creating opportunities locally
Releasing music and building audiences
Digital DIY, labels and online activity
Making connections and finding follow-up support

The session is part of Lancashire Music Association on Tour, a programme of free music industry sessions, showcases and development activity taking place across Lancashire.

We’ll be working with More Music and our friends at E Rooms, alongside music industry executive Ramin Bostan, LMA Advisory Board members and local music people.

There will be opportunities to ask questions, share ideas, make connections and find out more about support available through Lancashire Music Association.
