Open to UK students applying to the MA Music Production course at Confetti’s campuses in Nottingham and London, progressive learning institute Confetti ICT has announced the Steve Lillywhite Scholarship. Named after renowned six-time Grammy-winning record producer Steve Lillywhite, the initiative aims to provide ‘exceptional opportunities for driven and motivated UK students pursuing a career in music production’.
Lillywhite is celebrated globally for his contributions to modern music, having worked with artists including Talking Heads, Peter Gabriel, The Rolling Stones, U2 and The Killers. Now, in partnership with Confetti, he seeks to mentor and guide the next generation of musical talent.
‘I’m deeply committed to nurturing the future of music production, and I’m excited about the prospect of working closely with a deserving student at Confetti, helping them take significant strides in their career,’ he says.
This scholarship opportunity includes fully-funded tuition fees and personalised 1:1 mentoring sessions with Lillywhite. Students will also benefit from Confetti’s partnership with the Tileyard professional music community – a creative hub home to more than 200 music businesses such as Soundcloud, Ableton and Believe, and over 150 private recording studios, home to The Prodigy and Noel Gallagher among others.
To be eligible for consideration, applicants must hold an offer to study on the MA Music Production course at Confetti and be classified as a ‘home’ student. The application process requires the submission of three streamable tracks along with a written submission (maximum 500 words) outlining the applicant’s contributions to the tracks and explaining why the scholarship would be beneficial. Alternatively, applicants may submit a short video via a private YouTube link.
‘This scholarship represents an extraordinary chance for aspiring music producers to gain invaluable industry exposure, forge essential connections, and receive guidance from one of the most influential figures in the music industry,’ Confetti says.
Confetti Institute of Creative Technologies is a dynamic and progressive learning institute offering specialist vocational education and training – from college-level courses to postgraduate degrees. Home to nearly 3,000 students across its Nottingham and London campuses, Confetti’s growth plans are supported by investment from its parent company, Nottingham Trent University.
