We want to give you the best chance of joining Co-Pilot: the Musicians’ Mentoring Network and unlocking its full potential we’ve put together some handy tips on what we look for in standout applications.

By understanding exactly what we’re looking for in an application, you’ll have the best possible chance of writing a successful application. 

What do we look for in Co-Pilot applications? 

Timing and urgency
You’re at a critical moment in your career when our support could really help you move forward.

Career focussed
You can tell us very clear music career goals and how joining this programme at this time will help you achieve them.

A track record
You can show consistent dedication to your music over time

A commitment and understanding of mentoring
You should be prepared to invest time and energy into mentoring sessions and other Co-Pilot activities. The best mentoring relationships are two-way.

Remember that mentee and mentors work together. Mentors are not expected to share contacts, open industry doors or deliver services for the mentee, but they can offer advice, be a sounding board and help understand what the industry expects from artists.
