SoundStation is a resource targeted at young people up to the age of 18 to help them learn more about music, share musical experiences, get career advice and hear the latest about Youth Music projects and initiatives in their area. It covers all genres of music from Indie to Grime and Pop to Classical. It features the most up to date music news, plus celebrity interviews and regular features on jobs within the music industry, reinforcing positive role models who are making a living out of music. Visitors can use the Local Events section to find Youth Music projects in their area, play interactive music games, test their knowledge on the monthly music quiz and leave messages on the Bulletin Board.

The site is updated on a regular basis and also hosts video interviews, music videos and audio tracks by up and coming and established artists.

“The best investment we could make for young musicians in this country is giving them the help they need to capitalise on their talents and skills. I'm not thinking so much about courses, but rather people that are experts. All bands have a lawyer, an accountant etc, when they get a certain level of success. The advice you get from those people is priceless. Also advice and encouragement from people who have experience.”

Alex Kapranos, Franz Ferdinand (2004 Mercury Award winners)
