Today’s headlines left us heartbroken. But not surprised.

Over 1 million young people locked out of education, employment and training. A generation with talent, passion and ambition, and a system that keeps failing to meet them where they are.

The entertainment production industry is full of extraordinary careers that most young people don’t even know exist. Sound engineers. Stage techs. Tour managers. Lighting designers. Real jobs. Good jobs. Jobs that could change someone’s life.

We know, because they changed ours!

That’s why we created Make Noise, a nationwide campaign putting real kit into the hands of young people and opening the door to an industry that needs them just as much as they need it.

20 free Audiotonix STEAM DJ Mixer kits. Available to schools, youth groups, colleges and home-ed families across the UK. No experience needed. Just curiosity.

Backed by , funded by , built in partnership with , and championed by , who knows better than most what it means to find your way in without a roadmap.

This is simply not okay. But this is what we’re doing about it.

- we see the headline. Here’s the response.

We’re incredibly excited to share that Freyja Lawson, PA System Technician & Monitor Engineer and part of ’s team, is backing 🎧⚡

Make Noise is all about opening up the entertainment production industry so people know these careers exist and, more importantly, that there IS a way in.

The work we do is focused on championing this incredible industry and making it a visible, accessible route whether you’re in mainstream education, home education, or figuring out your next step.

Far too many young people are currently classified as NEET, while this industry is crying out for talented, curious and motivated people. The problem? Many simply don’t know these opportunities exist.
We’re here to change that.

It’s an absolute honour to have Freyja’s support in sharing the message - she has also been an on-going cheerleader of the work we do for many, many years! 🫶

In Part 1, Freyja shares the moment she realised: ‘I need to work in this industry!’
