2025 Fast Track Fellowship announced
Wednesday 7 May, 2025
Delivered in partnership with the Music Producers and Engineers Guild (MPEG), the Fast Track Fellowship will provide the opportunity for selected Victorian producers or engineers to participate in a bespoke program in the United Kingdom for two months.
A vital skills development passport, the Fast Track Fellowship will enable Fellows to expand their pathways to build global networks, international experience and professional opportunities.
This is a life changing opportunity for a mid-career Victorian-based music producer or engineer, who works closely with musicians to help them achieve their artistic goals in the recording studio.
The 2025 Fellows will have access to mentors, studios, industry events and be supported with travel logistics and accommodation for up to 8 weeks.
Applications are now open and will be reviewed and selected by an independent industry-based advisory panel.
