The Midem Artist Accelerator is an exclusive programme for artists and their entourages. Designed to support managers, agents, labels and publishers as they look to grow their artists’ profiles globally, it’s the opportunity to promote 12 up-and-coming international talents selected by an artistic committee. The second edition of the Midem Artist Accelerator features a range of curated networking opportunities with key players within the music ecosystem, as well as learning and coaching sessions with leaders of the international music industry.

Best International Song

The announcement of Toya Delazy’s selection comes shortly after she recently won Best International Song at the Out Music Awards in New York in January, for her Forbidden Fruit song, and also reached number six on the UK Urban Charts for her single Luv My City last December. Delazy’s international recognition has played a crucial part in getting her this far along of the Midem Artist Accelerator selection process.

Toya Delazy recently debuted her first single with new all-female rap crew, Klutch Kollective, entitled Back To The Roots.
