4Elementz
Using hiphop culture and media to engage disadvantaged youths
4Elementz is a community project based in Camborne/Redruth. We use hip hop culture and media to engage young people at risk of social exclusion and help them work towards a creative career.
We run unique workshops in rap therapy, music career mentoring and media production.
Rap music resinates with young people social excluded like no other genre. It can create opportunities, reengage them into the community, be away to deliver information and rebuild a persons self esteem.
'4Elementz gave me an opportunity to gain free music videos, photography and help launching my music career. I've seen mad results with festival bookings and networking opportunities with big names in UK Grime. I feel like I can actually make a living and build a career doing what I love. That's an incredible feeling.'
Workshops
During 2019 we will be running free workshops in music and media production. If you want to learn about making music videos, photography or journalism then sign up.
Any agencies that would like to refer their young people in or hire us to put on a workshop for you, get in contact.
We have 6 years professional experience and have built a Rap genre music scene helping hundreds of disadvantaged young people locally.
Hungry Sounds Studio
4Elementz has been busy supporting the launch of Hungry Sounds, a music studio based in Camborne Cornwall.
This is the perfect environment for creative young people to record their music with Rap/Grime/Drill genre producers and get involved in learning about blogging, photography and music video production.
Rehab projects
Using our specialist experties of engaging hard to reach socially excluded people with music and media, we have created on online rehab hub. Change Course is a online rehabilitation website full of animated information videos designed to help people known their rights, been to change their lives, gain advice and guidance on a range of issues, such as; starting a business, disclosing offences to employers, financial skills, managing relationships and much more.
Our current pilot is working with inmates and ex offenders to design the best programs for them.
We also run a job club on a Wednesday in our office in Pool innovation centre which helps ex offenders build a career.
