Ren, also 16, says they have benefitted from the investment into Bradford as part of City of Culture through the college’s Producing Academy.
The Producing Academy is a new facility with resources for music production, fashion, photography and game development.
“It has helped so much, we have new gear, everything feels more organised,” they say.
They went to RISE at the beginning and since then they have worked with performers and other opportunities have come from it.
“It has been incredible seeing all the different events and seeing the music scene boom in the last year.
“Before that there wasn’t much going on, it was quite slow and there were only a few gigs every now and then and everything was quite small.
“Now, with Bradford Live and BBC Introducing it has just boomed and it has been amazing because I have been able to be part of so many different, incredible experiences and meet so many different people.”
