BBC Introducing Panel

At this panel event in 2025, we shared advice for artists on how to submit their music to BBC Introducing, BBC's platform for emerging talent.

BBC Introducing Leeds and Sheffield hosted a panel discussion with brilliant emerging artists whose music and lyrics are inspired by their hometowns in Yorkshire.

Host Emily Pilbeam’s guests included Chiedu Oraka, Kenzo Jae and Joe Smith from Polite Bureaux.
