Generations is a fellowship program in partnership with Create NSW, Powerhouse Museum, Blacktown Arts Centre and Vyva Entertainment to support artist development across the music industry in NSW.

The next stage of the fellowship will focus on Western Sydney to find the three talented contemporary musicians who will take their musical careers to new heights through the six-month 2024 Generations – Western Sydney Music (Early Career) Fellowship residencies. Valued at $100,000, each fellow will be provided with $25,000 in financial support, in-kind support with studio space in Blacktown, and industry mentoring and networking facilitated by Vyva Entertainment for the duration of each residency.

In 2024, the Generations recipients include:

  • FRIDAY* is a second-generation Ghanaian-Australian musician living in Western Sydney. FRIDAY* produces energetic anthemic numbers and connects with like-minded creatives in the process.
  • Gemma Navarrete is a Chilean/Italian singer-songstress from Western Sydney. She is known for her concise, poetic lyricism and RnB/pop-infused tunes that reflect the transition from adolescence to young adulthood.
  • Yellowline is a collective that embodies the spirit of Western Sydney's diverse Hip Hop community. Their music is an expression of their individual identities and a unified chorus that celebrates cultural diversity and shared aspirations. As a collective, Biggs685, ElijahYo, MRVZ, and MKAY aim to redefine the landscape of Australian Hip Hop, making it an inclusive space where positive and uplifting messages challenge the status quo and ignite change.
