EALING’S University of West London is to launch a record label in September.
It will give creative students a unique space to release new music and offer industry experience to those studying music management as they work directly with signed artists.
Prof Anthony Woodman, Deputy Vice-Chancellor, said: “We have so much talent here at the university, not just in our performers and musicians, but across all areas of recording and management.
“This deal with AWAL will not only celebrate that by promoting music by our students, but allow them to be part of a competitive industry as they study.”
AWAL has worked with artists including Lauv, Tom Misch, Kim Petras, FINNEAS, and UWL graduate Little Simz.
All students taken on by the label will have their music distributed by AWAL on to streaming platforms.
