Michelle Myrie

Grants and Learning Officer - Youth Music

I am the Grants and Learning Officer and Industry Lead for Youth Music and my regions cover Yorkshire and the Humber and some London projects. I give guidance and support to my grant holders as well as to new applicants on their projects. I am also the lead officer for our Industry fund – which is a fund working with organisations to widen the pipeline to employment in the Music Industry. Before this role I was the CSR manager for Community Music based in East London as well as a coordinator for various Youth Justice projects. I’m a drummer with years of experience performing, teaching, and touring with various bands - so my experience is varied. I firmly believe there should be no barriers to accessing music no matter who you are and I’m grateful to be part of an organisation that helps to champion that.
