Generations
Generations Western Sydney Music Fellowship connects Western Sydney contemporary musical talent with established industry leaders and mentors to pass on intergenerational knowledge and create pathways in the music industry for 6 months.
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.
Current Fellow
Ghanaian by heritage and Australian by citizenship, FRIDAY*’s compositions touch on identity-based self-conflict, long nights, good friends, bad heartache and all things in between. His free-flowing sense of self allows him to build unorthodox sonic narratives that unearth the true patterns and colours of his self, his heritage and his home city of Sydney. Producing and performing tapestry pop, hip hop, raw punk and more, FRIDAY* pushes boundaries and turns heads with a conviction not felt within the Eora scene in quite some time.
