Access: Wherever you may be in your career, we share resources and we are here to help each other reach higher ground on your own path.
Our Belief
We believe in a music scene that reflects the variety of cultures within the city.
We believe collaboration across generations and cultural backgrounds leads to cross-pollination and an enriched artistic environment, launching more international artists.
We believe in providing access and tools to young artists, female-identifying artists, and artists from under-represented groups so that they have a seat at the table and a future in the music industry.
Our History
We started in 2019 with in-person workshops. The emergence program was initiated with the intention to offer tools to emerging artists from underrepresented genres and help find their footing in the industry. We quickly noticed that the workshops were not only helpful and well- received by emerging artists, but they resonated with artists from all ages, career stages and genres. Our community grew and we moved the sessions online in 2020 due to the pandemic. The 2021-2022 season (season 3) will continue to be virtual however we have plans for in-person activities as soon as we are able.
