Bradford Music Innovators is a programme to support those looking to build careers in music and start new music businesses, specifically around creating and managing music rights. 

If you are an artist or musician who write original music and / or create recordings, or you operate in a role who manages recordings and / or compositions (as an artist manager, record label, publisher or similar role), Bradford Music Innovators will walk you through, and ensure you are collecting all the relevant income open to you, alongside skills and advice for marketing, branding and exploiting your music in other media. 

Four workshops will be held in November as part of Bradford Music Month, after which 4 individuals will be selected for one-to-one mentoring and business guidance over the following 6 months. A final networking and feedback session will be held in January 2024.

The workshops will take place between 6pm & 9pm at The Beehive, 1 Saltaire Rd, Shipley BD18 3HH on the following days:

Wednesday 8th November - Managing Your Music Royalties

Wednesday 29th November - Starting Your Own Music Business

Featuring speakers from One Nine Nine Agency, WMP Studio, 4 & North Publishing & more. 

Each session will feature presentations, guests from industry and an opportunity to network with other attendees.
