BBC Introducing has announced a new, unique music event to celebrate its 10th anniversary.
With hundreds of DJs, artists, musicians and industry experts showing you how to make a living from making music, Amplify will be providing a platform to connect with the biggest industry names via workshops, talks and one-on-ones, all aimed at getting out there and even taking your own music to the next level.
Whether a musician, future industry heavyweight or simply a music fan, Amplify offers masterclasses, advice and the equipment needed to make it big in the music business.
Devised by the leading events company, SME London, in conjunction with BBC Music Introducing, Amplify will feature more than 250 industry speakers including: The Libertines, Blossoms, The Courteeners, Hurts, Frank Carter, Becky Hill, Bugzy Malone, Creeper, The Hunna, Ray BLK, Annie Mac, Jo Whiley, Steve Lamacq, Annie Nightingale, Huw Stephens, MistaJam, Jamie Cullum, Phil Taggart, Bob Harris, Danny Howard, Tom Robinson, DJ Target, Twin B, Monki, Abbie Mcarthy, Sophie Little, Georgie Rogers and Yasser – plus record labels, heads of music, radio stations, producers, commissioners and more.
PRS for Music and PPL will also be hosting sessions during Amplify, details to be announced soon.
Radio 2 DJ, Jo Whiley said: “As anyone who has listened to my shows on Radio 1 or Radio 2 knows, I am passionate about giving up-and-coming musicians the chance to get heard and break into the mainstream. From a 19-year-old Adele doing her first performances, to seeing Coldplay taking their initial steps towards superstardom and the emergence of Biffy Clyro, I feel privileged to have been at the beginning of so many journeys. Amplify is going to give countless bands from around the country their chance to do this and make their music heard. I am so excited about being a part of it and discovering brand new talent at Amplify.”
BBC Radio 1 & 1Xtra DJ, MistaJam added: “For the last decade, BBC Introducing has been unparalleled when it comes to supporting unsigned, undiscovered and under the radar musicians and artists. It's an honour and a privilege to be part of the Amplify event to help invest in the next generation of artists and music industry professionals.”

How to write a hit record
How to get a million streams
Grime is the new DIY
A guide to self releasing music
From your bedroom to Ibiza

Bad online? How to be good at social media
