Gatekunst is an annual youth project for people aged 15 to 23, organised by the hip hop collective Forente, a competence centre for youth and those working with youth, and the YouTube platform YLTV. The project aims to give young talents who want a career in the entertainment industry a real learning arena where they can experience what it is like to be an artist in the real world.
– This year we have joined as a sponsor of Gatekunst because it is a project that stimulates the creation of new Norwegian music. It is also a great opportunity for young songwriters to show themselves. For TONO, it is important to be where new music is created so that we can create awareness about the rights you have as a composer and lyricist, says TONO's membership manager, Jan Espen Storo.
The young people who gain experience, knowledge and networks. The guidance takes the form of workshops where the young people collaborate with well-known and established artists who act as mentors and role models. The end result is a record release and a concert where the artists and the young talents perform together. The concert will be held in Oslo in September or October. The final date has not yet been set. But first an audition will be arranged, which will be held somewhere in Oslo during April, and will be done in collaboration with Universal Music and NRK P3.
If this sounds like something for you, you can sign up, but please note the deadline is already April 21. You sign up on this page:

In connection with the project, the first song from the sixth round of Gatekunst has now been released via Universal Music. It is called "Liten Sirkel", and features guests from Ezzari, Turab & Satilmis. The song is produced by Leif Inge Fosen, and Turab, and has also been listed on NRK P3 itself. This single shows that concrete good things come out of Gatekunst, and is hopefully an inspiration for those of you who think that Gatekunst might be something for you. You can hear the song here:
