Sonic Futures is bringing together BBC Introducing, Spark Sunderland and CVFM for an informal listening panel exploring how emerging artists can engage with local radio and BBC Introducing.

Led by Shakk from BBC Introducing in the North East, the panel will feature Jenny Dean from Spark Sunderland’s The New Music Show and Baker Lillivick from CVFM, giving artists the chance to hear directly from the people behind local radio and new music programming.

The event is aimed at emerging and developing artists, musicians and music professionals across the Tees Valley and wider North East who want to better understand how radio can support their career.

Whether you’re releasing your first track or already building a following, you don’t need previous radio experience or industry connections to attend.

Come along, ask questions and find out how to get your music heard.
