Last updated:3 September 2024
The highly anticipated cohort of emerging music creators for the 2024/25 LIMF Academy
programme has been revealed.

The LIMF Academy is an award-winning initiative dedicated to enhancing the creative
and professional skills of young, aspiring music creators aged 16-25 based in
Merseyside. Since its inception in 2013, the Academy has become a cornerstone of the
region’s music scene, providing a platform for over 5,000 young artists to develop their
talents and gain a foothold in the competitive music industry.

The LIMF Academy has nurtured a host of successful artists, including R&B/Soul
band Mic Lowry, who signed with Universal Records, won a MOBO Award, and toured
Europe with Justin Bieber. Retro-Soul artist Jalen Ngonda signed with the legendary
Daptone label, performed at festivals such as Glastonbury, sold out his tour dates all
across the globe and had been co-signed by everyone from Snoop Dogg to Elton
John. Michael Aldag, known for his Electro-Pop sound, rapidly gained a large following,
signed with 3 Beat Music/Universal, and sold out multiple national tours. Tonia, another
rising star, captivated audiences with her debut single Flux and has since signed to
3Beat/Universal Records.
