First Time Composers is designed to provide music creators of diverse backgrounds access to educational opportunities and resources with the goal of enhancing their path to success!  We believe the diversity in our content should also be reflected in music selected to tell these stories. We are seeking fresh new talent interested in composing for film, TV, and marketing projects.
