On one day in August, PRS for Music assembled together some of it's youngest songwriter members for the Class of 2011 event.
The Class of 2011 brought together the next generation of music creators who are already achieving success in their respective fields - whether it be dance, rock, pop, folk, hip hop or production music. The event gave the group of 16-19 year-olds a chance to speak with industry experts including special guest rapper Wretch 32, BBc 6 Music's Matt Everitt, music promoter Tony Moore and PRS Chairman Guy Fletcher who has written hits for the likes of Elvis Presley.
M caught up with the members of the Class of 2011 and asked them about getting started in the music industry, their music royalties and the challenges of getting a fledgling career off the ground. Watch part one of our special series of informative and inspirational Class of 2011 interviews. Part two follows tomorrow.
