Plan B, MNEK and Chase & Status launch The Big Music Project

Thanks to the Big Lottery Fund, more than 150 young people from across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales will descend upon London’s iconic music venue, The O2, today as BRITs Week starts to celebrate the launch of The Big Music Project.

Supported by artists including Plan B, MNEK, Chase & Status, and Capital's Martin Humes and Pandora, The Big Music Project (TBMP) is a £4 million initiative wholly funded by the Big Lottery Fund, and is all about music, young people, and possibilities.

This year long project, which kicks off in April, will include a national music competition - The Big Music Project Competition powered by Next BRIT Thing, alongside nationwide careers fairs, community projects through youth clubs and hundreds of work experience and internship opportunities, all fully supported online.

Global, The BPI and UK Youth are lead partners of TBMP, Capital FM is the key media partner.
