Power Up has revealed the music creators, industry professionals and executives who will make up Year 5 of the multi-award winning initiative. Co-founded by PRS Foundation and Ben Wynter, Power Up’s Participant Programme elevates pioneering Black talent and is a key feature of the long-term initiative launched to address anti-Black racism and racial disparities in the music sector. The programme – designed to fit the needs of each annual cohort of participants – assists in the development of their careers and practice, to empower creators and professionals and to push for change across the industry. Power Up also recently welcomed new partnerships from Amazon Music, Warner Music UK and the Blavatnik Family Foundation, and Universal Music Group. All three investments will support and strengthen the programme through residentials and other activities offered to participants.
