FAQ

No. Tell us about your current experience, work and development goals. CUE reviews your application and recommends the most relevant programme and pathway where appropriate.

CUE programmes are designed for DJs, music producers and developing electronic music artists at different stages. Some programmes are suitable for beginners, while others require existing technical or creative experience.

Applicants must be 18 years or older when the programme begins. Any programme-specific age requirement is confirmed before enrolment.

CUE Artists programmes are delivered in English.

CUE Artists currently offers: DJ Development & Performance, Music Production Development, Intermediate & Advanced Music Production with URI, and Artist Development & Professional EPK.

That's fine. Your current level is reviewed during the application process. You don't need to place yourself perfectly before applying.

Yes. If another programme or pathway appears more appropriate for your current stage, CUE may recommend it before you confirm your booking. You are not required to accept the recommendation.

DJ Development: three students per cohort. Music Production Development with Phynyks: three to four students. Production with URI: one-to-one. Artist Development & Professional EPK: one-to-one.

Selected Malta programmes are delivered at INSYNK Spaces, subject to the structure of the relevant programme.

Yes. URI's Intermediate & Advanced Music Production programme is delivered live online on a one-to-one basis. Some Artist Development work may also be delivered online as part of its hybrid format.

Sessions are not automatically recorded. Recording requires prior agreement from the tutor and any other person being recorded.

DAW requirements depend on the programme. Phynyks programmes review technical compatibility before enrolment. URI primarily works in Ableton Live and Cubase, although producers using other DAWs may be considered if they already understand their software and can follow production principles across different systems.

For production programmes, you should have access to a suitable computer and the software required for your work. Any specific technical requirements are confirmed before your place is secured.

Yes. Students are responsible for using legally accessible software, plugins and other production tools.

Not for the Beginner pathway. Intermediate applicants should already understand the fundamentals and be able to mix with some consistency. Your level is reviewed before programme confirmation.

Selected DJ Development sessions use a professional AlphaTheta setup including 2 × CDJ-3000X players and a DJM-A9 mixer. Additional studio equipment may be used where relevant.

You need enough real material for the programme to work with. This may include music, DJ mixes, artist profiles, existing biographies, visuals, releases or performance experience. You do not need to arrive with a complete professional project.

No. CUE Artist Development is based on honest positioning. We do not create false achievements, invented releases, fake support or manufactured artist stories.

Depending on your pathway, your EPK may include artist positioning, a professional biography, music and performance links, verified releases and achievements, approved visual material and booking information. Your programme page confirms the full deliverables.

The Artist Pathway is the wider development structure surrounding eligible CUE programmes. It helps connect specialist development to the broader artist project through progress direction, professional context and next-stage planning.

No. The Artist Pathway provides wider development direction. Artist Development & Professional EPK is a dedicated one-to-one programme that goes deeper into areas such as positioning, biography, visual direction, EPK development and professional presentation.

Selected programmes include access to the private CUE Artist Platform, a development environment built specifically around the CUE Artists process. Access and available features depend on your programme and development stage.

Programme pricing may include the Core Programme Fee, the mandatory CUE Artist Pathway & Programme Services Fee where applicable, and any applicable VAT. The complete consumer price is confirmed before you make payment.

Monthly payment plans are not currently available. Unless otherwise stated, the complete programme fee must be paid before the programme begins.

The complete consumer price and any applicable VAT treatment are confirmed before enrolment.

For one-to-one programmes, reasonable rescheduling requests may be considered depending on notice and tutor availability. Group sessions generally follow the confirmed programme timetable.
