East End Music Room CIC supports young people and local communities through music, creativity and opportunity in East London.
East End Music Room CIC makes professional music-making and recording more accessible to young people, emerging artists and people facing financial or social barriers in East London.
We create practical opportunities to make music, build skills, collaborate and move creative work forward.
Professional recording should not be out of reach because money is tight. Our pilot offers selected artists and musicians recording sessions at 50% of the standard session cost.
Apply for a session →Applications are considered individually. Places are limited and submitting an application does not guarantee a subsidised session.
The programme is intended for emerging artists, musicians and creative projects that would benefit from professional recording but face financial or other barriers to accessing it.
We aim to keep the process simple, fair and proportionate. Applications are considered using the following factors:
We may ask for simple evidence of financial need where appropriate. This could include Universal Credit or another means-tested benefit, low-income evidence, or a brief explanation of circumstances that make professional recording difficult to afford. We do not want unnecessary paperwork to become another barrier.
Selected applicants will be contacted to discuss their music, what they want to achieve and whether the session is suitable. We will then agree the session length, contribution and recording date before the booking is confirmed.
Tell us briefly about you, your music and what you would like to record. Short, clear answers are completely fine.
We want the application process to be straightforward. You do not need industry contacts, a polished biography or a commercially successful track record to apply.
Emerging artists, musicians and creative projects that would benefit from professional recording but face financial or other barriers to accessing it. A connection to East London may be prioritised.
Selected participants receive a 50% subsidy on the agreed recording session. We confirm the session length, normal value, your contribution and the CIC subsidy before booking.
No. Universal Credit or another means-tested benefit can be one way of showing financial need, but it is not required. We can also consider low income or other financial or access circumstances.
We review your application and contact you by email. If selected, we discuss your recording plans and agree the session length, contribution and date before booking.
