How it works:

God Knows and Nealo will mentor the candidate and provide advice throughout the process.
Once completed District will provide a full suite of assets to ensure the candidate obtains premium experience in the art of music rollout. This includes a photography session to get your press shots; a bio and press release; cover design for your single; social posting and a premiere of the single on the District website.
