In 2020 the WOMADelaide Foundation partnered with Northern Sound System (NSS), a vibrant youth music centre in Elizabeth, to create the WOMADelaide x NSS Academy. The training and development program gives young, emerging First Nations and multicultural artists the chance to hone their music skills through songwriting and production intensives, studio sessions, workshops in schools and live gigs, guided by local and national music industry professionals.
Ten artists took part in the inaugural Academy and graduates MARLON X RULLA were selected to support Vika & Linda and Midnight Oil at WOMADelaide 2021 in King Rodney Park. In 2022 Sokel, Elsy Wameyo and Sonz of Serpent will perform on the Zoo Stage and Frome Park Pavilion.
The NSS Studio will showcase more of Adelaide’s best up and coming artists, performing and recording live. If you’re feeling inspired you can join in and record something yourself!
