Unit 8 Project Proposal
| Candidate Name | Sophie Leadbeater |
| Candidate Number | 10654083 |
| Pathway | UAL Level 3 Diploma in Music Performance and Production |
| Project Title | Project 5 – Collaborative Project |
| Section 1: Rationale (approx. 100 words) |
| The main reason behind the creation and release of an EP for my career is to give my fanbase more music and material to listen to, and more music for people to discover me from. This will greatly expand my opportunity to get discovered by potential listeners on all platforms. I also wanted to try and tackle the challenge of making an EP for my career. |
| Section 2: Project Concept (approx. 200 words) |
| The concept behind this ep is to create a mashup of emo-trap, pop-punk and hyperpop sounds. This EP will in turn sound appealing to many different sub-cultures in both the underground and mainstream music scene, with both modern pop punk having a revival, and hyperpop rising to stardom. |
| Section 3: Evaluation (approx. 50 words) |
| I believe the project as a whole was a difficult time for me, tackling something I had never done before, but overall was a good experience which I would improve on in the future, production wise and environmentally wise, potentially recording in a professional studio. |
