ICMP's musical community of students, tutors and alumni has started the year with plenty of successful projects both on the stage and in the studio.
From performing with high profile artists to securing industry awards and deals, the talent that makes up ICMP has been busy in recent months.
Here are some of our recent success stories.
Vocal alumna and ICMP Industry Coach Izzy Chase joined our Drums alumnus Matty Brooks in performing with the BRIT Award winner RAYE on the BBC's hit show, 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The Valla features BA Songwriting alumnus George Coulson and have been on the up and up in recent times.
Highlights for the group include being played on BBC Introducing's 'Best of 2024' selection alongside supporting rising stars, the Lottery Winners.
Singer songwriter and ICMP Songwriting alumnus Jordan Shaw has been an enduring success story since leaving our classrooms.
He signed a deal with indie music publishers Phrased Differently and has never looked back as a songwriter for hire and topliner.
Jordan's latest achievement is co-write and feature on a dance music track from producer Tiesto.
Brighton-born singer-songwriter Orla Rae (pictured above) is an ICMP alumna making significant waves in the UK r'n'b/soul scene.
