Before making a move into the Music Industry, Chelsea was a Project Manager for a Global Collaboration Services organisation in London. Starting with running live music events in Brighton and management of bands, Chelsea now runs the Brighton Music Office. The Brighton Music Office has conducted key research into how the music industry works in Brighton and aims to provide information and resources to support and grow Brighton's music scene. Chelsea will share Brighton Music Office’s findings from mapping Brighton as a music city, including recommendations around progression routes into the music industry for young musicians, commissioned by SoundCity, the music education hub for Brighton & Hove.

AudioActive’s mission is to develop and provide access to a range of inspirational experiences and interventions that support young people to reach their full potential.

This will be followed by a facilitated discussion and a chance for you to share your ideas and insight with the OFC team.
