The program matches 50 young music industry hopefuls aged 18-25 with a mentor in their chosen field of performance, technical, event management, marketing and promotion or music business operations.
Ms Keren was paired with Australian songstress Monique Brumby in the performance category of the mentoring program last year.
“I found her to be extremely helpful and professional,” said Ms Keren. “I got a lot out of my meetings with Monique.”
Ms Keren said she was pleased with the educational aspect of the program, as well as the entertainment factors. She learned new terms, information about instruments, and vocal techniques that helped her when she recorded a personal track at the Audrey Studios for the FReeZACentral CD.
“I was excited to discover a government initiative for the music industry,” she said. “It’s about time there was some kind of avenue to help kids get involved in music as a realistic career option, instead of just scaring their parents into thinking they would never have a job.”
