Young Producers is a new project for young people who have taken part in Making Tracks, supported by the Arts Patron Trust. Our first 2 Young Producers Helen and Johnny are collaborating to put on a gig involving other young people and will be blogging about the process.

Helen’s blog #1:

Today was day two of the Young Producers project.

We had a lot of important things to do, including coming up with an event name, and planning out our marketing strategy.

I personally find it quite hard to look into the future, but i can’t think of a better reason to do so, and push myself, out of my comfort zone.

We also started putting together a flyer and coming up with a ‘blurb’. We wanted to make the event as inclusive and welcoming as possible and hopefully, our ‘blurb’ reflects that.

The event name we came up with was “Artistry Breakthrough”. It is combined by a word from each of us. My word, ‘Breakthrough’ is meant to represent a struggle, and the persistence and effort required to get past it. This could be trying to ‘make it’ in the music industry, or overcoming demons and the paths you set off on.

I am really enjoying working as a team, as we can all use each other’s strengths, and support each other with our weaknesses, and I am privileged to be working as part of such an amazing team.
