Why Register?

We’re exploring new ways to support musicians in West Yorkshire. Tell us your goals, challenges, and where you want to go – so we can create support that reflects your reality.

Who’s it for?
Artists, bands, and performers from across West Yorkshire, and the teams helping them to reach new audiences, whatever their genre.
What Will Happen Next?

We are working with partners across the country to support our talent to grow. Registering does not commit you to anything or guarantee any support but will help us design the most effective programmes for our region.

The West Yorkshire Combined Authority, alongside its partners Generator, Music Local, the West Yorkshire Music Network, and Full Circle, may be in touch with you to discuss this further.

Who This Is For:

Your Music, Worldwide.

If you’re making music, supporting music, or helping artists build momentum, this is for you. Whether you’re an artist, band, producer, manager, label, studio, promoter, or someone building a creative career around music in West Yorkshire — you’re in the right place.

If you’ve ever thought about taking your music beyond the local circuit, exploring international stages, or connecting with audiences overseas, we’d love to hear from you.

  • We’re especially committed to hearing from underrepresented voices, because the global music landscape is stronger when it reflects a wide range of perspectives.
  • We believe in equality of opportunity - breaking down barriers across gender, ethnicity, disability, and socio-economic background so every Yorkshire creative has a chance to grow.
Join us, and together we’ll help shape the opportunities that showcase the vibrancy and talent of West Yorkshire’s music community on the world stage.

What to Expect

We’ll ask you a handful of simple questions about who you are, what you’re working on, and where you want to take it. You’ll also have space to share any goals, challenges, or big ideas you’ve been thinking about.

It’s quick – around 3–5 minutes – and once you submit, we’ll keep you in the loop as plans develop and opportunities emerge.

Why It Matters
Your voice helps shape what happens next. The more we understand your ambitions and challenges, the better WYCA can design support that actually helps — whether that’s opening doors to international showcases, unlocking partnerships, or creating more routes for Yorkshire artists to step onto global stages. You know what’s happening in your world. We want to hear it.
