Graduation day for Red Stripe Project Artist
Wednesday was the graduation ceremony for Red Stripe Project Artist students and it was held at the Pegasus Hotel in Kingston.
The ceremony signalled the end of nine months in the classroom which began last March followed by a three month internship programme.
Students were given the chance to learn about the real business of music in the various top end studios while established artistes, producers and various players in the music business provided mentorship to them.
