Grime Pays run by Ruff Sqwad Arts Foundation

This Summer, ten 11 – 16 year olds from the Royal Docks took part in Grime Pays, an immersive music industry programme, run by Ruff Sqwad Arts Foundation (supported by the Royal Docks Team).

Grime Pays is a music programme which provides advanced talent development elements including beats, lyrics, track production, performance, software and technical skills, team work, critiquing and career development. It gives the young people involved access to industry-level equipment to be able to produce, record and rehearse quality music over the course of the programme. In the session, young people explore all facets of the music industry to upskill them as music industry professionals / artists. It took place in a professional recording studio - Spotlight.

Grime Pays is run by Ruff Sqwad Arts Foundation, founded by Grime Legends Prince Owusu-Agyekum (aka Rapid) and Ebenezer Ayerh (aka Slix) to help young people reach their full potential in creative careers and life.
