YoWo Music gives young women and non-binary youth the opportunity to discover their love for music. Co-founder Claire Cross tells TMN how she hopes the program will forge a more inclusive industry for all.

The program is designed to launch careers for young (18—25 year old) First Peoples in creative organisations.

“High Score is the kind of event I wish I could have attended when I was just starting out.”

Funding jobs ranging from the installation of acoustic panelling, state of the art insulation, to engaging a specialist acoustic assessor.

The plan’s 21 actions include new traineeships, a tailored employment program, cultural exchange opportunities, and initiatives to build business capacity.

A number of the grants have gone towards getting artists to this year's BIGSOUND conference.

With total funding of $486,000, it will support a series of initiatives to boost representation from people from First Nations and culturally diverse backgrounds, and those with a disability.

Since 2013, more than 300 Australasian artists have worked with over 200 internationals across more than 40 SongHubs events.
