In efforts to increase diversity in the scoring world and help underrepresented groups break into film and TV music, First Artists Management is launching its inaugural Composer Assistant and Mentor Programme (C.A.M.P.).
The initiative, being done in partnership with Youth Music, opens for applications today. The program is seeking aspiring music makers aged 18-25 based in England, Scotland or Wales.
C.A.M.P. is open to anyone making music (regardless of any traditional musical background, university degree, connections or support to work for free) who can demonstrate passion, grit and talent for scoring for film and TV.
The program will help aspiring musicians gain knowledge of the industry, build a portfolio and grow their network, providing important steps to a career in composing for media. Level one, commencing at the end of September and continuing over five weeks, includes an online educational series, practical advice and tips on the industry as well as one-to-one mentoring with experienced composer mentors including David Arnold, Alex Baranowski, Anne Chmelewsky, Benji Merrison, CJ Mirra, Ré Olunuga, Paul Saunderson, Will Slater, Gazelle Twin and Joe Wilson.
Hamish Duff, head of FAM’s European office in London, says: “C.A.M.P. is designed to be a platform to encourage new voices to enter into the music for screen industry by firstly demystifying this area of business, as well as offering practical tips and opportunities for young composers to go on and create excellent work.
