Three Logan musicians will get the chance to work with Brisbane’s JMC Academy to record and song and produce a video.
The awards were part of recent professional development sessions, where talent was identified.
Sarah Leigh who performs as Rae Leigh, Briana Dinsdale and Lisa Mapson, known as Maps, will receive $10,000 worth of video and song production.
Sessions were part of Logan Live, hosted by Logan City Council to build the capacity of the live music scene in the City of Logan.
It does this through professional development sessions and a month of live music.
City Lifestyle Committee Chairperson Councillor Laurie Koranski thanked JMC Academy for their support of Logan’s emerging musical talent.
“This is the first time the prize has been offered and I’m sure it will be a tremendous boost for the three artists receiving it,” Cr Koranski said.
“2020 has been an especially challenging year for musicians and artists and it is great to be able to support them in this way.”
Council was unable to host the annual live performance program this year for Logan Live Music Month because of COVID-19 restrictions but the Boost sessions were held at the Logan Entertainment Centre.
Content this year was especially tailored around topics related to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on musicians.
“This series, run over six sessions in August and September, was designed to give artists the tools they need to survive and thrive in the music industry,” Cr Koranski said.
“We hope Sarah, Briana and Lisa enjoy their recording experience with JMC and we look forward to returning once again to host live performances in the City of Logan in 2021 as part of Logan Live Music Month.”
