THE ANSWERS
Who is FSA for?
Producers and DJs who are serious about progressing — to artists preparing releases. Selection is about commitment, not credentials: if you are willing to put the work in, you are the right fit.
What happens after I apply or book a call?
You will speak with an FSA resident for around 20 minutes. We discuss where you are, where you want to go, and which pathway genuinely fits — then give you a straight recommendation. Nobody is auto-enrolled, and if we are not the right fit, we will tell you.
Where do sessions happen?
In our private studio in Warrington town centre, or live online. Studio sessions run on professional Pioneer CDJ and Ableton Live setups; online sessions run over Zoom with whatever setup you have.
What does it cost?
Exact pricing and inclusions are listed on each pathway page — no hidden extras. DJ development and producer development run as separate structures, and artist development places are discussed on your intro call.
Who will I work with?
Directly with FSA residents — working artists, DJs and engineers. Every session is 1-on-1; there are no group classes.
Where is the FSA studio?
On Palmyra Square in Warrington town centre, close to Warrington Central station. Artists work with us in person from across Cheshire and Greater Manchester — and remotely over Zoom from anywhere.
Do I need my own equipment?
No. The studio is fully equipped — you are welcome to bring a USB of your own music. For online production sessions you just need a laptop with your DAW. We teach in Ableton Live, and everything transfers to Logic, Cubase and FL Studio.
