A groundbreaking initiative has been launched with the primary objective of discovering and nurturing aspiring artists under the age of 18, residing in the Gascoyne, Mid-West, and Pilbara regions of Western Australia.

This project invites young musicians from these areas to submit their original music for a chance to perform a live paid set at the 2024 Beats in the Bay Festival in the stunning foreshore in Shark Bay.

By providing this opportunity, this project aims to cultivate and empower regional talent, offering these young artists vital exposure to the music industry.

It seeks to foster an environment conducive to innovation and creativity, encouraging these musicians to explore and express themselves freely through music.

The initiative is not only a platform for showcasing their talents but also a transformative journey of growth, learning, and professional development within Western Australia's vibrant music scene, potentially propelling them to the global stage.

Supported by Festivals Australia, the project endeavours to leave a lasting impact by nurturing a new generation of musicians and contributing to the rich cultural fabric of the regions.
