THE INITIATIVE

The MTV Entertainment Group music team has historically been passionate about authenticity and engaging songwriters/composers/music producers who are from a multitude of backgrounds.

First Time Composers is a talent development and inclusion initiative designed to provide opportunities to underrepresented music creators, inclusive of, but not limited to, women, BIPOC and LGBTQIA+.   We are seeking fresh new talent interested in composing for film, TV, and marketing projects. The initiative will allow creators to submit themselves to be included in our music roster which includes access to:

  • Education & Guest Speaker events tailored to music creators who want to break into Film/TV music
  • Opportunities to submit music for consideration for scripted, unscripted, and marketing content

The roster will be accessible to teams who source and hire composers, songwriters, and producers across the MTV Entertainment Group and Paramount.
