Our Plan

Building a Vibrant Music Community

About Us

The Rhythms Project is dedicated to revitalizing the Tees Valley’s music scene and empowering our community. We provide a nurturing environment for creatives to develop their skills and connect with like-minded individuals. Our music performance space and social network offer accessible professional resources to support growth in this dynamic field. We believe in fostering inclusivity, allowing individuals of all backgrounds to flourish and break barriers alongside supportive professionals. By retaining local talent and providing development opportunities, we aim to strengthen our community and enrich the cultural landscape of the Tees Valley. In light of recent challenges such as the decline of music venues and the impact of the Covid pandemic, The Rhythms Project is more crucial than ever. Through promoting inclusion and social involvement, we strive to address these challenges and create a vibrant, supportive environment for all creatives in the region. Join us as we embark on this journey to empower individuals and elevate our community through the power of music.

Stage Two | Rhythms Music Studio

The Music Studio

Our studio will offer local artists and enthusiasts an accessible platform to develop their skills and showcase their talents without the need to travel or overspend. As a self-funded project, all proceeds will be reinvested to continuously enhance our services.

With a scarcity of affordable specialist facilities in the Tees Valley, our studio will fill a crucial gap. We will prioritize local grassroots musicians, providing a platform to highlight the exceptional talent within our community.

Stage Three | The Record Label

The Record Label

The Record Label & Artist Management program, currently in development, aims to revolutionize the way artists navigate the music industry. By providing a direct link to a professional platform for music release and distribution, as well as personalized guidance through our artist management program, we envision empowering artists to reach new heights in their careers. With a focus on fairness, transparency, and artist empowerment, our program will equip musicians with the tools and support they need to thrive in an ever-evolving industry landscape.

Stage Four | Grassroots Music Promotion

Grassroots Music Promotion

Our Stage 4 initiative focuses on promoting grassroots music, nurturing talent, and fostering a vibrant music community. Through tuition, workshops, and advocacy, we aim to empower the next generation of musicians and industry professionals.
