SAFFRON RECORDS C.I.C: Talent Development Partner 2023
Artist development program for 3 Black women & NB people
We will support 3 Black creators age 18+ who are women, non-binary or trans (masc or femme). They will be based in Bristol or wider South West and be at the very beginning/emerging stage of their careers. Genre focus is electronic, experimental, R&B, rap. Primarily we encourage development through music technology skills, eg. music production, as Black women and non-binary people are very under-represented currently in these fields.
We support those who are trying new and innovative approaches in music that don’t necessarily fit British/Western traditions and nurture those exploring their own identities through their creativity. Saffron’s mission is to advance gender equality in the music technology sector by creating safer spaces for marginalised folks to learn, create and grow through forward-thinking technological music creation. We primarily work to improve accessibility for women, trans and non-binary people in-person in Bristol, London, Nottingham, Birmingham and globally online.
