Live music, rap and singing to end the term from our X Fade musicians
Since 2005 Sedgehill Academy along with our Musician In Residence, Andy Gilbert, have supported songwriting & studio recording projects to give students individual mentoring on their development as a singer, rapper, songwriter or producer. Our state of the art recording studio has been at the centre of all the work produced and has given the students a chance to experience creating their own music in a fully professional environment. XFade Records officially started as a a brand in 2012 which pulled all the amazing talent together in one place. Since then XFade artists have written over 300 original songs, put on live showcases and have accumulated over 150,000 plays collectively on Soundcloud so far. This has lead to many of our students progressing into the music industry either as performers, songwriters or producers. Our choir Vocalize plus several more of our talented musicians treated the whole school to a lunchtime concert at the end of this term.
