🎤🎻 Two young Huddersfield artists. One orchestra. Two original tracks.

JHS Driss and KelzGoneWest wrote their tracks with our music leader and producer FarangDan, then performed them with the Musica Youth Strings at Huddersfield Town Hall. It was part of a West Yorkshire Violence Reduction Partnership project.

JHS Driss told the Huddersfield Examiner: "It opened up a career path for me." Kelz said music "has been like therapy" and helped keep him out of trouble.

Watch both performances and hear from JHS Driss on our website (link in bio). The Huddersfield Hub has covered it too, so look out for their article.

Thanks to the Huddersfield Hub and the Examiner for covering it.

To every artist on the Elevation Music Programme… good luck for the Novella EP Launch. We couldn’t be prouder of each and every one of you.

No matter what happens on Sunday, you’ve already achieved something special, and we truly believe this is only the beginning of your journey. Keep believing in yourselves because we certainly do! 🫶👏

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported the project so far, including our alumni @jhsdriss17 for being a mentor to his peers.
