HEAR FROM ONE OF OUR PAST PARTICIPANTS

“The music industry has so many layers. I never understood what a ‘360 Deal’ was. I learnt from being on a True Cadence programme that a 360 Deal gives a record label the right to benefit from every aspect of your work. Young People like me are constantly taken advantage of. Programmes like this are needed to make sure we can prosper with our talent”- Jay, 18.
