Youth Justice

We work in partnership with Solihull Youth Justice, Sandwell Youth Justice and Birmingham Youth Justice to give young people a creative outlet through individual music-making sessions in the community

The sessions are made to meet the interests of the young people. They include:

  • Beat making
  • Lyric writing
  • Rapping
  • Mixing
  • Recording
  • Producing
  • Promoting

We also offer with the opportunity for the young people to produce their music at MAC's state-of-the-art Recording Studio

Watch: Forget My Yesterday

This project is a collaborative music programme between Solihull Music, MAC Makes Music, and Solihull Youth Justice. The majority of these young people involved in this project will have been referred to this work as part of the ‘Turnaround’ initiative, to help find positive outcomes for young people who are, or could be, involved in criminal activity. These young people have been working on their musical, social and personal skills building up to a co-written track that was recorded and filmed at MAC's state-of-the-art Recording Studio
