Over eight episodes MUSIC INC will track ten music mad, ambitious and hard-working Irish teenagers on the challenge of a lifetime.  Week on week they will be set a challenge behind the scenes of the music industry with access to some of pop music’s biggest names. Pixie Lott, Ella Henderson, Union J, Imelda May, Ashley Banjo & Kimberly Wyatt – they all have tasks up their sleeves for our young challengers – from sorting rider to designing a stage outfit, from choreographing a dance troup to making a music video. Each episode will see one contestant knocked out and the remaining teens take one step closer to the final battle – the grand finale challenge between the last two standing in Hong Kong!

The challenges are mentored by pop industry expert Liam McKenna and judged by the industry stars. This is a once in a lifetime backstage pass to meet and work with some of the biggest names in the music business.

Liam McKenna is a former member of the girl/boyband ‘SIX’ and ‘There’s A Whole Lotta Lovin’ is still one of the biggest selling singles ever in Ireland.  He now is one of the UK and Ireland’s busiest tour managers, having worked with an impressive catalogue of acts, including JLS, Girls Aloud and Westlife and is currently working with Louis Walsh and his new boyband ‘Hometown’.

Episode 5 – Breaking the Band

Tensions are mounting as only five contestants remain in Music Inc. This week’s challenge sees the contestants assigned two unknown bands who they have launch into the Irish music scene. Starting from scratch the two teams will create an image to suit their band, work social media and other promotional tools to get their band to as many new fans as possible. The teams will pitch their bands to media and music outlets including The Daily Mail, Independent.ie, The Nicky Byrne Show with Jenny Greene on 2FM and Sony. The winning team is the team deemed to have best represented their band to have won exposure on most media outlets.
