Welcome to the Urban Collective Project
I've learnt things about the music industry that I wasn't even close to knowing previously and I'm now fully Mac and Logic literate. I couldn't thank the team enough for my new-found drive to crack on with all things music.You've given us a gift that keeps on giving. Daniom
The Urban Collective™ project is a youth music social enterprise that empowers young people aspiring to a career in the music industry to write, record and promote original music for independent release under expert professional mentoring.
In addition, as a project legacy, Urban Collective also builds a recording studio in each partner community center to facilitate ongoing recordings and audio production training.
Since its launch in London in 2004, more than 500 young artists across the UK have collaborated to produce several released albums, an award winning feature film, documentaries, music videos and dozens of live shows and music industry showcases.
Urban Collective is now establishing 501(c)(3) status in the USA and is looking to launch American Urban Collective in 2010 / 2011.
Meanwhile Freeport Entertainment provides optional management assistance to artists looking to develop their careers into the mainstream.
It’s not often that well-meaning community projects produce genuinely compelling results, but Urban Collective is a noble exception. IDJ Magazine
