Access All Areas is Your Triple-A Pass To The Music Industry ™

A Music Education Brand

Access All Areas is a music education brand launched by music business executive and lecturer Hakeem Stevens in 2020 with a unique monthly seminar, new artist showcase and networking event. Its first sell-out event occurred in March 2020, before the first lockdown, and it continued as a virtual event series throughout the pandemic. Our events primarily target 15-24-year-old NEET and Ethnic minority creatives and executives. In the next year, the Access All Areas brand is expanding with plans to tour its unique event around the UK and internationally, its first music conference, a music education book series, mentoring programme, a radio show and much more!
