- U22 is a collection of Canada's most exceptionally talented and promising young musicians under the age of 22.
U22 was developed by founder and creator Rhea March, whose passion for mentoring up-coming musicians is surpassed only by her commitment to create credible viable performance opportunities for exceptionally talented young musicians. She has been deeply involved with Edmonton's live music scene for many years but her unshakeable dedication to inspire young talent took root in 2004, through a community based “Young Singer/Songwriter” concert series that ran quarterly from Riverdale Community Hall in Edmonton. Rhea is entertaining, engaging, and supplies an undeniably deep sincerety and love of the craft to nurture even the newest of performers to achieve their highest potential.
U22's extensive network of music industry experts and veteran performing artists underwrite its mentorship, talent, and leadership development objectives.
Although the roster of astonishingly gifted young artists performing with U22 currently sits at a few dozen individuals, there is no limit to the talents that are waiting to be discovered across Canada...
