Im starting a music based community project in conjunction with a local studio and a local church. The notion is to find people who are 16-25 and unemployed, give them chance to work with a great producer (me!) and use project resources and knowledge to get them out into the music industry. If you want a career in music then experience is not necessary. Once you sign up you get music lessons, business advice, studio time, production time, presentation sessions and pretty much everything you can think of that a successful future recording artist would need. Once you have enough songs to make a record we sell them through the project for you and hold the income for a couple of months. We keep the interest as our fee and then release the original money to you. We also hook you up with gigs and labels and whatever else. This is not bull. Its for real. Whats the general opinions on this? Would any of you go for it?

General opinion would be based on the following:-
1.you would need to tell me exactly how long would you hang before you have made your comission on the interest.
2.Who owns the masters
3.who would own the copyright
4What contracts would you expect me to sign up to and are these contracts approved by the musicians union in the UK???
These are questions all new comers to the music business should want to know the answers to. I am not looking to sign sign up but I hope the above is informative to any one who is interested.

Hi, sounds like a great idea, and I understand your reasons for choosing this age group, because this is where the government is throwing most of its funding for new initiatives. It's good to have the support of the local studio and the church. The one thing I would say is you might need to think about not only catering for young people who want to be singers/ musicians but also those who want to take on your job. There are loads of young, introverted people, who would love to get in touch with all the technology involved in mixing, producing, sound engineering etc.
I think you'll have a large take up, but I'd also get local youth organisations to sign up as partners in the scheme as they already have an "in" with your age group.

forget the age limit...
people over 25 should get the same chance.
and many deserve it more than the "kids"
the Basic idea is great and I`d sign up for it if available in my area....

Do you not think that people over 25 can sing? I am 34 and I am a great singer. Have won many competitions in singing.
