From Mongolian folk metal to Armenian Jazz, Creole, and Caribbean Rhythms. Year 13 Music students took us on a journey at Sounds Global, The BRIT School's annual celebration of songs and cultures from across the world. For over 20 years, this showcase has challenged BRIT's young artists to explore music-making without borders. Embracing traditional beats, unfamiliar languages and contemporary fusions, our students grow their technical skills and deepen their understanding of music as cultural practice. We're incredibly proud to partner with @ppl_uk , supporters of Sounds Global Champions of music recording rights, PPL ensures performers and rightsholders are paid for the use of their recorded music. They represent many world-class artists, including BRIT alumna Cat Burns, who shares: "PPL has played an important role in my journey. As things have grown, it's meant a lot to know that they're making sure I'm paid properly when my songs are played in public or broadcast, in the UK and abroad. I really appreciate the work they do." (PPL News*, 27 June 2025) Beyond the stage, PPL has been backing BRIT's music careers programme and supporting our young artists' music business education, enabling students to gain industry insights and essential knowledge for their future careers. By investing in BRIT's aspiring musicians, producers, DJs and sound engineers early on, PPL is helping the diverse new generation step into the industry with confidence.

"My future is my own to make" - Year 12 Student This was the spirit at this years' Futures Fair at The BRIT School, held in partnership with WME | William Morris Endeavour. Students had the chance to meet over fifty representatives to help them figure out "what's next" after BRIT - exploring everything from Higher Education and Apprenticeships to Internships and Training Schemes. Our dedicated careers team offer personal guidance to help our young artists move on from BRIT into their next stage. In 2025, 85% of graduates progressed into HE and professional pathways. Of those, 78% were students from Global Majority heritage. Many people don't realise BRIT is a FREE school. Our mission is to break down barriers, ensuring arts education and career pathways into the creative industries are accessible for young people, regardless of their background. Thank you, WME, for helping our young artists own their futures. And huge thank you to the teams from LIPA, Guildhall, Creative Mentor Network, Warner Bros. Studios CrewHQ and many more who were on hand to talk about what doors they could open for the next generation of artists!

Former student and current BRIT School trustee @archmadekwe visited us yesterday for an inspiring Q&A with our Principal and his former teacher Stuart Worden.X Archie spoke about his four years at BRIT and his journey into the industry, including films such as Gran Turismo, Saltburn and Lurker. Now nominated for the @bafta Rising Star Award, you can vote for Archie here https://www.eebafta-risingstarvote.co.uk/archie-madekwe "At the BRIT School there is no limits or limitations on what you can do. It was the most incredible, life-changing experience." He also told students: "As your journey continues, there is nowhere more supportive or that will hold you more than this school." Archie was later interviewed by current student Amy as he walked through Zone 2 on his way to @brit_theatre to watch a devised performance of ...and rainclouds. Good luck, Archie. We are all behind you. @flavsfotografia #BAFTA #EEBAFTAs #RisingStar #BAFTARisingStar AlwaysBRIT
