Universal Talent Development, in partnership with Universal Film Music and the participation of DreamWorks Animation and Universal Studio Group Music, has launched its fourth composers initiative, a program designed to seek and amplify rising talent in the entertainment industry.

Established in 2018, the Universal Composers Initiative was designed to find artists from both traditional and non-conventional professional backgrounds whose creative viewpoints translate into distinctive musical expressions. The two-year initiative provides participants with access to the studio process, while increasing awareness of this new talent not only within NBCUniversal’s vast network of executives, producers and directors, but also across the wider entertainment industry. Participants are provided with creative and professional development opportunities. They may also have the opportunity to pitch for NBCUniversal scoring projects.
