Music Production for Women just opened applications for four scholarship spots in their year-long Master Your Music program, and the whole thing is backed by Distrokid plus ICMP. The scholarships target female and non-binary people who are dealing with money problems that would normally keep them out, and winners get weekly masterclasses covering production, mixing, sound design, and marketing stuff. Teachers are legit professionals like Ramera Abraham, who won an MPG award for vocal production work with Adele and Stormzy, and Lillian Frances, who performs in the US and has shared stages with acts like Sylvan Esso.
The program runs remotely for a full year, and students only need a laptop with headphones to participate. Monthly group mentoring sessions are part of the package to help people hit whatever music goals they set, and there is a community aspect built in for support. Xylo Aria from MPW mentioned that past scholarship recipients have seen real transformation from the program, with opportunities going to artists dealing with disabilities or financial struggles. Applications close at midnight GMT.
