Future Bubblers are excited to enter into a new phase with the relaunch and revamp of Future Bubblers Academy kicking off this summer. The revised framework provides a total 360 for creative and industry applicants to gain on the job experience and development across key pillars of the industry in addition to its core ethos. Candidates will be set real-life tasks and challenges across the following areas, Promotions and Marketing, Creating and releasing Masters, Live and Everything Else You Might Need To Know (funding, sync, brand deals) all spanning over a year. Aided by their mentors, creative candidates will put their learning towards a series of tasks, whilst industry candidates will receive mentorship from the Future Bubblers and Brownswood Recordings team behind the scene. The re-brand enforces its priority to evolve with the climate of the rapidly evolving industry and continue to follow the mission statement of “testing boundaries and probing new directions”. Previous years’ candidates include Nottingham grime MC Snowy; soulful, stripped-back vocalist Yazmin Lacey; Hull’s sample-heavy experimenter Revenu, and the stark, rhythmic incursions of producer Kayla Painter plus numerous other notable successes.
