The Ultimate Music Circle was created after a noticeable lack of mentoring programmes available to people wanting to get into the Music Business, especially those from cultural and diverse backgrounds . We have designed a programme that will help break down barriers and open doors for employment by creating a circle of trusted influencers who are passionate about giving back.
The Ultimate Music Circle consists of music industry experts who will mentor an individual selected via our vast network of people of all ages. The mentee could be a young person or a more experienced person, who for example has worked in marketing but is hoping to make the leap into A&R or for some reason somehow not managed to get to the next stage of their career. The mentoring can take place in various formats, face to face, over the phone, zoom etc, twice a month for one hour at a time.
The Ultimate Music Circle was created as an initiative that will help people fulfil their own ambitions with the help of those already paving the way.
