The New Scene Foundation (NSF) is a charitable organisation dedicated to supporting emerging artists by increasing access to high-quality performance opportunities and helping them build sustainable careers in music. Founded in 2019, just prior to the start of the pandemic, the NSF was created to address the barriers many young and developing artists face when entering the industry. As the original purveyors of the “Lockdown Live” format in the UK, we have delivered five week-long seasons of professionally recorded live concerts, providing artists and bands with the opportunity to perform, be seen, and develop their professional portfolios. Working in partnership with JORG Productions, all performances are captured to a professional broadcast standard using certified cinema cameras, ensuring artists receive high-quality audio and visual content that can be used to support their growth and progression. Through our established platforms and networks, the NSF helps artists increase their visibility and connect with industry professionals and new audiences. The artists we support have gone on to secure great record deals, work with leading producers and engineers, and significantly grow their audiences — from thousands of new followers to millions of streams and views across major platforms. At its core, TNSF exists to champion new talent, reduce financial and industry barriers, and create meaningful opportunities for the next generation of artists.
