Application Deadline: Mentorship Program for Aspiring Music Industry Professionals

Applications are now open for the second edition of Music·Musique NB’s (MNB) M•C•M (Music • Career • Mentorship) Program. The program is designed for aspiring and emerging music industry professionals, who wish to enter the industry and develop the needed knowledge and skills.

“We need more booking agents, managers, publicists, and other industry pros, to help artists develop their career while staying in New Brunswick,” says Jean Surette, Executive Director of MNB. “Most artists have to do the work themselves, because there is just not enough help, and some end up leaving the province.”

During the course of the year-long program, each emerging pro will be paired up with an emerging New Brunswick artist, helping them with business and administrative tasks, such as grant writing and setting up revenue streams. “No prior music experience is needed,” mentions Dominique Tremblay, MNB’s Education and Training Coordinator. “The program will cover the music industry basics, before delving into the nitty-gritty.”

The cost of the program for each participant is $3,000 with 95% subsidized by the Government of New Brunswick. The participants are required to contribute 5% ($150), before the start of the program.
