In 2024, Forté Project continues to deliver its ground-breaking talent development model that supports and celebrates young music creators in Wales.

Forté Project plays an integral part in shaping a new future for the arts in Wales. We are continuing to expand our delivery, our reach, our vision and our impact across the country. We utilise a range of knowledge and skills from various industry professionals to support young people and help them identify routes to pursue careers in music.

The project enables artists to experience their true potential during their time on the programme, so they can present their best work and grow their profile to audiences in Wales and beyond. We do this by delivering the following strands of support…

• Industry masterclasses

• Exploratory songwriting sessions 

• Networking opportunities

• Recording support and facilitation

• Marketing assistance

• Booked rehearsal time

• Live opportunities

• Bespoke mentorship scheme

• Wellness support

The young people we have supported have flourished creatively, produced new material, and been exposed to a series of unique opportunities, both nationally & internationally. Previous artists have gone on to…

• Receive national prize nominations

• Feature on BBC Radio A-Lists

• Become funding awardees
