A Bristol-based management company has launched a new initiative to foster diverse talent within the music industry.
With the help of Youth Music, Harbourside Artist Management's Disability Empowerment Programme was created to enhance disability representation in music. The programme sees the company bring on a young manager with a disability, long-term health condition or neurodiversity to develop a fully funded EP, a full marketing campaign and music video alongside a chosen band or artist who identifies similarly.
Both the manager and artist joining the programme will be in the 18-25 age bracket, in order to address the lack of opportunities for young people who identify as having a disability.
