Now in 2025, we’re proud to be celebrating ten years of Future Bubblers - ten years of talent development, first-hand experience, and invaluable feedback from the groundbreaking artists and creatives we’ve supported. All of this has helped shape the next chapter of our journey as we relaunch with fresh energy and vision. We are now moving forward as Future Bubblers Academy, a reimagined programme with a renewed focus on developing both emerging music makers and behind-the-scenes industry talent. With Gilles Peterson’s legacy of championing boundary-pushing music at its core, Future Bubblers Academy remains committed to barrier-free access, regional representation, and empowering the next generation of UK music innovators.

Additionally, we will explore innovative and sustainable distribution methods to reduce emissions associated with shipping and logistics. 2.

By minimising our reliance on new materials, we contribute to reducing waste and conserving natural resources. 7.

The application shouldn’t take too long, no more than 15 minutes - we just ask a few basic questions to help us get to know you and your practice better, and an opportunity to upload relevant links. &nbsp; What is the deadline for submissions? Applications for the latest round of Future Bubblers closes on Sunday 30th August, 10PM. Is there an age limit to apply?Currently we are accepting applications from individuals aged 18-30. This age bracket is something we are reviewing in our next funding application. What will happen if I am selected? We’ll be selecting up to 10 Future Bubblers – a mix of emerging artists including singers, rappers, spoken word poets, producers, beat makers, musicians, as well as people interested in creative technology, and those looking to build careers behind the scenes in the industry. If you’re selected, we’ll be in touch to arrange a video call at a time that suits you. We’ll chat about where you’re at creatively and start thinking about which mentor would be the best fit to support your development. What do I get as a selected candidate? As the programme unfolds, you’ll get access to workshops, mentoring, live music opportunities, and the chance to build a better understanding of how the music industry works, and how it can work for you. You’ll have support from the Future Bubblers team, your mentor, and a wider network of creatives who’ve been through the journey. We also encourage everyone in the group to connect and collaborate, some of the best stuff happens when you build together. I’m a signed artist, can I apply? Unfortunately not. Future Bubblers is all about grass roots music. Creatives with no real previous music industry experience or exposure are the project’s priority. Just because you don’t have a manager, an agent, even a soundcloud doesn’t mean you aren’t making perfect Future Bubblers’ vibes. This is more about potential rather than previous experience. When will I find out if I am successful? We will notify the successful candidates by mid-September 2026. You will be contacted by email so please ensure that you provide us with correct and complete contact details. What happens if I don’t get selected? Just because you aren’t selected as a “Future Bubbler” doesn’t mean that you cannot come along for the ride. There are many ways for you to remain part of the Future Bubblers story and benefit from the resources and opportunities. We will add all applicants to our mailing list and keep them up to date with local Future Bubblers activities and events. Please inform us if you do not wish to be added to the mailing list If you still have more questions, feel free to email esmee@futurebubblers.com and we will come back to you as soon as we can! https://futurebubblers.com/Title-2 Mon, 05 Jun 2023 11:16:49 +0000 future bubblers https://futurebubblers.com/Title-2 PAGE/2
