Funded by the Youth Music incubator fund, Saffron’s Springboard initiative has provided 6 young people with a 10-month programme of mentoring, professional coaching and grants of £1,000-£3,000.

We invite you to join us for an evening celebrating our Springboard project participants. For the past 10 months our talented group of young creatives have been working on individual music projects and developing themselves personally and professionally.

Expect a variety of performances and presentations that will be showcasing the work of our young creatives:

Maria Torres is an artist manager and has been working on developing her business, brand and website, having participated in publishing webinars, showcase events and becoming a member of the MMF. Maria has been collaborating with Konichiwa Agency to obtain her brand identity and build her website which will give her a professional platform for the future.

Sarahsson is a composer, producer, performance artist and DJ interested in synaesthsesia and divine queerness. Combining different resonant processes and sonic interfaces, she flits unfaithfully between emotional textures with classical and handmade instruments on her debut album being released on the record label Illegal Data.

Izzy McPhee has used Springboard to develop her career as a sound engineer. She has been shadowing engineers in studio and live settings, and working on mixing and mastering projects from her home studio. She has been able to buy industry standard equipment, attend courses and training, and develop professional relationships.

Mary Waters is releasing her debut EP, Forest. Throughout the project Mary has been nurturing her development through mentoring in music production and vocal training. Alongside this Mary has invested in new equipment to record her songs at home to a professional standard.

Katriine has been collaborating with other queer and/or black artists, writing and and producing songs to create an mixtape that focuses on their experiences. Katriine presents her Mixtape called Out Loud featuring Grove and Clara Maria.

Throughout the duration of the Saffron Springboard project, Sian has been working on creating and producing her podcast Mama’s Joint, which showcases, and explores women within the Music Industry. Sian has been able to further develop her interview technique and production skills and knowledge, whilst also receiving mentoring and professional coaching to guide and assist her on the completion of her project.
