We have partnered with TYX Studios to give students on our BA (Hons) Music Performance and Industry programme access to professional recording facilities and industry networking at one of London’s leading creative production studios.
Based in King’s Cross within the Tileyard creative community, TYX Studios is a premium production facility specialising in music, podcasts, video and digital content. Students will receive four hours of complimentary studio time each month and discounted rates on additional bookings, enabling them to develop professional-quality recordings using industry-standard facilities.
They will also be invited to Tileyard events including live performances, networking sessions and industry mixers, building connections with artists, producers and other creative professionals.
The partnership has been driven at TYX Studios by Managing Director Jack Freegard, working with creative technologist and music producer Manon Dave. Manon founded the Maia Dave Scholarship Fund, which this year established its first London scholarship at Trinity Laban on the same programme – extending that commitment from individual funding to studio access for the wider cohort.
Professor Aleks Szram, Deputy Principal and Artistic Director of Trinity Laban, said: “We want our students to leave not only as outstanding musicians and creative practitioners, but as confident professionals with the networks to build sustainable careers. TYX Studios gives them exceptional facilities and connects them with one of London’s most exciting creative communities, building relationships that will support them long after graduation.”
Jack Freegard, Managing Director of TYX Studios, said: “Tileyard’s mission has always been to build a community of like-minded creatives, and opening our doors to students is a natural extension of that. We’re passionate about making professional facilities accessible to emerging talent, and working with Manon meant we could design something that reflects how artists actually build careers – not just studio hours, but the rooms, the conversations and the introductions that come with them.”
Manon Dave said: “Talent has never been the bottleneck for young musicians – access is. A conservatoire can teach you to be exceptional, but the industry still expects you to arrive with great songs and a network you had no realistic way of building. This partnership closes part of that gap. Trinity Laban and TYX are two organisations I have real respect for, and Jack and the team met this with genuine generosity.”
