About the role
Root Seventy Three is a youth-led artist development initiative built by and for the local community. We operate an open-door, community-rooted recording studio in London, focusing on artist development. We welcome and nurture new, young artists serious about their craft, providing them with access to equipment, space, and time to write and record, along with a wealth of industry experience.
As a community-focused platform, we create opportunities for new artists to collaborate, showcase their work, and cross-promote. Through a partnership with Ditto Music Publishing, Root 73 supports artists with distribution, marketing, and monetization.
About The Silhouettes Project
In 2019, Root 73 started The Silhouettes Project to shine a light on the new generation of underground Hip-Hop, Jazz, and Soul music in the UK. Community is everything to us, and we wanted to demonstrate that with a proper support network, access to professional facilities, and the encouragement of a family of artists, our community could produce something incredible.
We shared a frustration that the current UK music scene only supported talent in certain genres while overlooking a thriving alternative Hip-Hop culture. The Silhouettes Project unifies artists creating groundbreaking music but lacking a solid structure to work within—artists who deserve more recognition. The name reflects our mission to shine a light on those in the shadows.
