Fresh - Professional Development for Emerging Urban Music Artists

The FRESH project has been established as a response to the growing need for local Urban music artists to take their unique style and exceptional talent to the next level.

Approximately thirty young MCs, Vocalists, and Beatmakers who come from diverse cultural backgrounds including Indigenous, African and Polynesian have signed up to take part in FRESH 2009.

These young people - each with their own unique style of Hip Hop, RnB, Soul, and Reggae - will gain new skills in music business, promotion, performance and recording.

With inspirational guest speakers such as Grace Vanilau (Brown Roots Collective), and Mark Lang (Skipping Girl Vinegar), FRESH training is aimed at building a strong foundation for what is hoped to be the beginning of sustainable music careers for well deserving young artists.
