Roundhouse launch 30/30 unsigned band search

The Roundhouse has joined forces with EMI Music for the second year for 30/30 in 2010, a groundbreaking youth music project designed to cultivate and develop new and emerging talent.

Every day this September, 30/30 will offer 30 unsigned artists - between the ages of 16-25 - one free day of recording time in the Roundhouse’s EMI Live Music Studio, along with top guest producers to professionally record and mix their track for free.

On 13 October, the 30 lucky acts chosen by the Roundhouse team will have the opportunity to put their questions to a panel of experts from all areas of the industry - from artist management and marketing, through to publishing and A&R. 30/30 is non-genre specific and aims to attract an eclectic variety of artists.

Last year’s project was a huge success, attracting submissions from hundreds of aspiring artists, which culminated in the 30/30 Compilation Album 2009, a collection of 30 tracks featuring artists such as Ghosts You Echo, Hella Better Dancer and Ken Kobayashi, all of which have since signed recording deals.

Artists interested in 30/30 should visit www.roundhouse.org.uk/3030 to download an application form. The deadline is 16 July.
