BOOSTING CAREERS
In addition to being an entertainment agency, ISG were proud to launch a new initiative called Platform North East in collaboration with Kycker thanks to funding from Arts Council England.
Platform North East is a fantastic opportunity for singers and bands and singer-songwriters to come together and work with industry experts on essential skills such as songwriting, stage presence, marketing, and social media as well as offering practical advice on other areas of the music industry.
In addition to having an original song composed and produced at ISG’s creative Hub, Kycker will help artists release their music across multiple platforms and offer workshops on live performance.
