Byron Music Festival and Byron Youth Service have teamed up to provide an exciting and potentially career defining opportunity for four local artists from the Northern Rivers youth community.

BMF Youth Stage is a two-month music mentoring program developed by Byron Music Festival and Byron Youth Service to encourage creation of new works by emerging artists between 12-24 years.

Through an online audition process, four artists have been selected to work alongside four of our region’s most renowned and successful musicians who have mentored and helped the young artists produce an original song at a local recording studio.

The culmination is a radio-ready song for release and a showcase performance at Byron Youth Arts Centre (YAC) on Saturday 15 October 2022.

The Showcase community event will include an all-day showcase of the talent of our local youth, food & beverage, and hangs in the sun with family and friends!

Byron Youth Service General Manager Christian Tancred said "This is a fantastic opportunity for young artists to plug into and gain experience in the music business. Byron Music Festival has been a terrific supporter of the music program at The YAC and we are stoked to be able to continue this relationship and foster the next generation of local artists".
