From Talent 2 Professional

Talent development is one of the main focal points of our foundation. This is the reason why we started the project From Talent 2 Professional. We aim to give inexperienced artists with talent and potential the opportunity to gain knowledge from professionals who are employed in the music industry.

Our workshops and master classes will give the artist a look behind the scenes and a better understanding of what the music industry expect from an artist.
