Hawk Sounds in partnership with The Crew Club
From October 2023 – July 2024 LOOKOUT partnered with the Crew Club for a new music project ‘Hawk Sounds’, a new music project in Whitehawk at the Crew Club music studio for young people aged 13-19 offering weekly free open access music sessions, weekly supported production, writing, recording sessions and studio time along with specialist workshops and talks from professionals working across the music industry.
About the Project
LOOKOUT curated a series of industry-led workshops & talks from a range of creatives working within the music industry. Topics covered included vocal looping, beatboxing, rap, spoken word, DJ’ing, Management and PR, merchandise, programming, promoting, shooting & editing a music video.
We were joined by:
Erin James • Martha Cleary • Conrad Murray • Woodzy • DJ Mimi • Rosie Powell • Tom Brain • Rob Luis • Jamie Buckingham • Anthea Clarke • Anna Moulson • ARXX • Taff
Hawk Sounds artists also curated their own gig ‘Hawk Sounds presents…’ which took place at Komedia studio on 15th July to celebrate the work they had produced throughout the project. We were joined by artists from BN1 Arts and the brilliant DJ Mimi did two sets plus the amazing Woodzy did a live set.
"The Hawks Sounds project has been a brilliant success, providing the opportunity for local young people to explore their passion for music and the music industry. The project partnership with LOOKOUT has helped take the project to another level with the introduction to industry professionals and high quality workshops. It's so good seeing local young people having access to such quality provision that will have a massive impact on their lives."

It’s good to meet people that are doing different things in the industry and find out about how they got into the work they do.

It’s good to be pushed out of my comfort zone and explore different areas of music that I might not have looked at without hearing from a range of artists / guests
