Irish Youth Music Awards set to kick off
On April 4th 2009 the Irish Youth Music Awards (IMYA) are taking place in the Village, Wexford Street, Dublin 2. The IYMA’s is an all inclusive music based project for 12 to 19 year olds, held across Ireland, including Northern Ireland, and greater Dublin area.
Engaging with over 15,000 kids at local level, the IYMA’s core aim is to give young musicians and those interested in working in the music business, the opportunity to develop their creative and collaborative skills and access the knowledge and advice of some of Ireland’s most respected music industry professionals.
The end goal of the participating regions is, through a unique combination of Live Performance, and back-room teamwork, to bring home The Irish Youth Music Award 2009.
Along with the accolade of becoming the holders of the Irish Youth Music Awards 2009, all of the team members from the successful region will then get to record a fully professional album of their own material, produced and mixed by some of Ireland’s most experienced producers and engineers.
