THE BUSKING PROJECT – A SHOWCASE OF THE CENTRAL COAST’S YOUNG MUSICAL TALENT.
The RYSS BUSking Project is finally here!! We have big plans to help young people across the Central Coast to capture and share their voices and musical talents with the World!!!
Our original idea was to run open mic gigs at Central Coast community events across the region, giving young people a platform for a live music performance experience. The current health crisis has unfortunately impacted our plans ,and we are adapting and taking The BUSKing Project ONLINE! Of course, when the time is right, and restrictions ease, we will take to the streets and get BUSking! The exciting part is that the online platform will still operate like an open mic music showcase. Young musicians aged 12-25 from the Central Coast region can submit a video or recording of a song. It could be a cover or original music; you could be a solo artist or a group act. We would like to share the videos across multiple web and social platforms giving our region’s young musical talent the exposure it deserves.
"Taking your music out to the public can be scary and you might not know where to start, so we hope BUSking will also be a space for young artists to share their tips and tricks for getting started as well as gaining advice and mentorship from young industry professionals."
PROFESSIONAL RECORDING EXPERIENCE & METROFEST
We are giving an opportunity for 4 promising artists/acts, the chance to professionally record their song and to play a 20-30min set at our mini music festival - Metrofest! The next Metrofest will take place at the end of this project (or when restrictions allow).
