Congratulations to Alexander who was one of 10 selected artists in this year’s LIMF Academy talent development programme. Alexander will have exclusive access to activities, networks and insider know-how from the music industry. 

ALEXNDER is a 17 year old singer-songwriter and artist from the Wirral. From getting guitar lessons at age 12 to utilising online videos to teach himself, ALEXNDER has matured from a ’typical singer-songwriter’ to more of an ‘Indie Pop’ and ‘Synth Pop’ artist.

For those selected for the 12 month academy programme they will benefit from a year-long programme which includes masterclasses, showcases, bursaries,  life-coaching and advice. The three ‘most ready’ artists, which this year boasts an all-female line-up, will also receive extras such as studio time and the creation of professional assets.

Since its creation in tandem with the Liverpool International Music Festival in 2013, the award-winning LIMF Academy has seen around 5,000 burgeoning artists attend workshops and seminars, as well as perform at a variety of events. We have watched the dozens of artists who make it onto the programme go on to sign recording and publishing deals, work with pre-eminent producers and open for worldwide superstars – providing a balance with opportunities for young artists outside of London.

For the 2021-2022 programme, the LIMF Academy has furthered our mission, growing the annual alumnus from six to ten artists, and offering more guidance, life coaching, music making and collaboration than ever before. This on top of the usual career investment, mentoring, education and development programme and performance opportunities.

LIMF Academy said ” We are happy to present our LIMF Academy 2021-22 cohort – these are some of the best unsigned emerging music talent in Merseyside. We are very excited to work with them for the next 12 months. Watch this space”.
