JBL And Martin Garrix Announce Exclusive Music Academy For
Up-And-Coming Talent
JBL and Martin Garrix team up for a music academy to bring underrated music talent into the
spotlight
The Martin Garrix & JBL Music Academy (powered by STMPD RCRDS & Studios) launched a
3-day programme
that has been set up by JBL and Martin Garrix to offer up-and-coming talent a stage
and support on
their way to success.
JBL and STMPD RCRDS presents the Martin Garrix & JBL Music Academy to a unique opportunity for 40
talented musicians, songwriters, vocalists and producers from across the globe to learn from music
industry experts. Designed to take aspiring artists to the next stage in their career, the global
initiative will teach participants about music, branding and business: from writing, mixing and
mastering the best records, to building your PR, socials and visual identity. The Academy will also
provide insights into business aspects of the industry, such as managing bookings, distribution and
legal affairs.
"I am very excited to take this next step as a JBL ambassador. The focus for us at STMPD RCRDS is
already on emerging talent, but thanks to this collaboration with JBL we can provide a platform to a
large group of new talent from all over the world", says Martin Garrix.
Inspiring industry speakers - including Martin Garrix himself - will present talks and training to
encourage artists to bring out the best of their talents. The Academy will be hosted in the
prestigious STMPD Studios in Amsterdam.
"Martin Garrix has been a JBL ambassador for over a year and a half and this programme is a natural
next step in our collaboration. It's important to us that we give talent a voice and this is also
where Martin Garrix and STMPD RCRDS invest a lot of time. I think it would be amazing if a future
JBL ambassador is amongst the participants" says Robert-Jan van Dormael, Vice President
Integrated
Marketing EMEA HARMAN.
The Martin Garrix & JBL Music Academy is open to all kinds of musicians regardless of experience.
Emerging artists, producers, singers and songwriters can apply by submitting a motivational video
and a maximum of three tracks, that they feel represent them.
