Are you a First Nations artist or band booking shows, applying for grants or promoting your music?
Join one of our masterclasses designed exclusively for First Nations artists based in New South Wales. Led by industry expert Travis De Vries (Awesome Black), these workshops aim to help you elevate your music career by creating a professional Electronic Press Kit (EPK).
An EPK provides important information about who you are and what you do, presenting you and your music to industry such as venue bookers, festival programmers, radio presenters, promoters, labels, and funding bodies.
We're offering in-person masterclasses in Sydney and Dubbo, along with an online option accessible from anywhere in NSW.
