Keychange U.S. Talent Development Program Announcement ⚡️The Keychange community is growing! We are thrilled to announce the official cohort for the 2024 Keychange U.S. Talent Development Program! Joining us are 25 trailblazing women and gender-expansive artists and innovators from around the country who over the next 6 months will receive career development in the form of mentorship, networking, community building, professional development sessions with industry leaders, and showcase/speaking opportunities at partner events. Special thanks to our Founding Donors TuneCore and Believe for helping make this program possible. Looking forward to kicking off in NYC next week on the margins of A2IM Indie Week! We have partnered with TuneCore and Dolby for a 2 day meetup with the cohort and will also be hosting a special panel with Red Bull Records on June 12 and a networking event with Beatport on the 13th (RSVPs are in the comments).
