Ella Eyre, the BRIT Award-winning singer, has spearheaded a promising school outreach program to inspire and empower young students.
Through this program, Ella plans to engage with students by offering support, advice, and unique opportunities that can help shape their futures. Such school outreach initiatives aim to encourage students to develop beyond the traditional classroom environment by offering them additional resources like career guidance, creative workshops, and interactive learning experiences.
The initiative, called Mic Drop Talks, will give students the chance to participate in music workshops, gain valuable career insights, and be inspired by her personal journey in the music industry. Ella is passionate about passing on valuable information to local students, best known for her iconic collaboration with Rudimental on the BRIT Award-winning British single of the year (2013).
A Mic Drop Talks session was held at Kelmscott School in Walthamstow, London, in partnership with Mastercard, the lead sponsor of The BRIT Awards for 27 years. Ella gave a surprise performance at the event, which was followed by a Q&A session where she discussed her career and career options.
Ella performed Waiting All Night and Came Here for Love live at Kelmscott School, wowing both students and teachers.
During the launch, Ella said: “I’m honoured to be launching Mastercard’s Mic Drop Talks campaign to help inspire the next generation of creative talent. It is crucial for young people to be given the options available to them within the field so they can choose the path that is best for them. I hope the outreach program at Mastercard empowers young people in the UK to pursue their passions and chart their own path forward.
Vick Hope, a presenter on radio and television, hosted the session. Vick said: “Inspiring the next generation is so important, and there is such power in really knowing your options, so I’m excited to be launching Mastercard’s school outreach initiative, Mic Drop Talks, showing young people across the country the many careers available in the music industry.
The UK is full of creative talent, and it’s been amazing to hear students’ aspirations and to help them realize their potential, especially in less well-known and underprivileged areas, because the future is truly in hands of incredible people!
On March 1st, the BRIT Awards 2025 with Mastercard will take place at the London O2 Arena and will be broadcast live on ITV and ITVX. In addition to Mic Drop Talks, Mastercard is also sponsoring a skills and CV-boosting work experience scheme, which will see ten students from the BRIT School work on The BRIT Awards ceremony in roles including production, TV, digital, event and public relations. BRIT students will also feature in Mastercard’s advertisements, which will air on ITV and on screens in the O2 Arena on the night.
