Applications for Parachute Music’s 2021 Parachute Development programme are now open.
Responding to a need for industry pathways for emerging producers, the organisation launched the programme this year. Based out of Parachute’s Kingsland studios, the Producer Development programme sees up to 6 high potential young producers spending an intensive year upskilling in studio and being mentored by industry pros. They will also collaborate with Parachute development artists and others from the in house artist community.
Their 2020 intake included Harry Charles, Carly Gill (Carlö), Christian Tjandrawinata, Parachute Artist Development alumni Jen Turner, and Sophie Bialostocki (Lévyne).
Parachute is now looking for their 2021 intake, seeking up to six young producers between 18-28 years of age for the annual programme. For more details, to apply, and for a detailed overview, head to parachutemusic.com/producer-development.
