The Oh Yeah Music Centre is delighted to reveal that the five fresh new acts that have been selected for Scratch My Progress 2020 are; Gender Chores, Gilmore, Lemonade Shoelace, Riley Holland and Vivamagnolia.
Scratch My Progress is a mentoring, showcase and practical support programme for new music. The dedicated talent development programme, now in its 9th year is powered by the on-going support of PRSF and Help Musicians. Oh Yeah is also delighted to be working with YouTube Music, a partnership that will provide participating artists with a new level of support through a series of dedicated master classes and more.
Over the next 9-months the 5-acts will work with our dedicated Talent Development Coordinator to uncover opportunities for their music and take part in workshops, studio time, professional photo shoots, showcases, vocal coaching and more.
With the current situation surrounding the closure of live music and events in mind, there will also be increased support in developing digital skills in artist promotion, performance and development of online audiences.
Over the years our talent development artists
have had one to one sessions with PRS, PPL, PRSF, Musicians Union, First Music
Contact, Atlantic Records (Ed Sheerin, Charli XCX), Parlophone Records
(Gorillaz), Domino Records (Anna Calvi, Arctic Monkeys), Jeff Robinson PR (The
1975, Belsonic), Deezer, Ditto, Body
& Soul Festival and many more. The Scratch My Progress scheme has mentored
a diverse range of talent over the years including NI Music Prize Winners Kitt
Philippa and Sister Ghost, music and media personalities Gemma Bradley &
Emer Maguire and artists representing the rock, alternative, acoustic, rap,
pop, punk and electronic genres.
