The Goethe
Talents Programme 2019 aims to support and connect young, aspiring musical
artists including singer-songwriters, composers and DJs. A cooperation between
the Goethe-Institut and »Pop-Kultur«, the scholarship will offer a variety of
activities to experience the “music city” Berlin before the actual Festival:
Studio visits, jam-sessions, short traineeships in selected companies from
Berlin’s creative industries, listening sessions and meetings with scholarship
holders of the Musicboard Berlin GmbH. Indeed, the scholarship is directed at
musicians between 20 and 30 years of age who have already gained some
experience in the field of music and have a solid grasp of the English
language.
Currently pursuing a MMus
in Ethnomusicology from the School of Oriental & African Studies (SOAS),
Noorani also featured in the summer blockbuster film, Baaji, on the song Ye
Aaj Mujh Ko Kya Hua as a playback singer for ‘Meera Ji’. Noorani has also been deeply involved in the
Pakistani music industry having co-founded South-Asia’s premiere music
festival, Lahore Music Meet (LMM). Since its inception, Lahore
Music Meet has brought together enthusiasts, artisans, artists, patrons,
industry representatives and academics to initiate dialogue on the developments
and shortcomings in music in Pakistan. Most
recently, Noorani served as General Manager for the Pakistan’s leading music
platform, Coke Studio Pakistan (Season 10) and has managed South-Asian pop duo,
Strings.
Noorani plans to releasing more music later this
year.
