“To have reached this far in the selection process is already such an honour. The Midem Music Conference is held in such high esteem across the global music industry and it’s any artist’s dream to be recognised by this platform” expresses Toya Delazy.
The Midem Artist Accelerator is an exclusive programme for artists and their entourages. Designed to support managers, agents, labels and publishers as they look to grow their artists’ profiles globally, it’s the opportunity to promote 12 upcoming international talents selected by an Artistic Committee. The 2nd edition of the Midem Artist Accelerator features a range of curated networking opportunities with key players within the music ecosystem, as well as learning and coaching sessions with leaders of the international music industry.
The announcement of Toya Delazy’s selection comes shortly after she recently won Best International Song at the Out Music Awards in New York in January, for her Forbidden Fruit song, and also reached number #6 on the UK Urban Charts for her single Luv My City this past December. Toya Delazy’s international recognition has played a crucial part in getting her this far along of the Midem Artist Accelerator selection process.
