Find Your Sound music students perform their latest tracks alongside a panel discussion on nurturing young talent in Wales.
Music programme students took to the stage for an unforgettable experience at Radio Platfform Presents! Kays, Atss, One84k, CH, and Eddie delivered incredible performances at the Cabaret space in the Wales Millenium Center.
From the deep rap lyrics of Atss, to the soulful vocals of Eddie, and the flowy bars of One84k, each of the boys brought their unique style to the stage.
The event which was a celebration of youth arts in Wales, also featured a live podcast panel discussion with industry experts, Jason ‘Dregz’ Camilleri of Wales Millenium Centre, Rhian Hutchings of Anthem, BBC Radio presenter and Reggae Artist Aleighcia Scott, as well as singer-songwriter Bruna Garcia of National Youth Arts Wales. The panel, lead by Radio Platfform presenter, Bablu Shikdar, shared their perspectives on nurturing new talent and their experience navigating the creative industry. They also discussed how to develop opportunities for young people in the creative sector and turn their skills into sustainable careers.
Closing the night was grime artist Valleyboy Zero with his powerful lyrics and singer-songwriter, Adjua delivering soulful alternative r&b sounds.
For us, supporting and nurturing young creatives is at the root of everything we do. Radio Platfform Presents provided an incredible opportunity for our Jukebox Academy students to showcase their talents and network with industry professionals, leaving them motivated and inspired to continue their artistic journeys.
Radio Platfform, based in the Wales Millenium Center, is a youth-led radio station that supports young people to produce and present their own live radio shows and podcasts, with Platfform Presents being their first independent event and the start of many more opportunities to showcase emerging talent.
