Prodigy is an invitation-only recording studio experience. Aspire Music Academy and Born Into Royalty recruit leading high-school vocalists for the program from among the talented young performers appearing in Aspire, STARS On Broadway, and other local productions. Given the advanced performance profile, we issue private invitations to those we view as most capable of participating and excelling in this experience. Those invited provide an audition and then the final group is selected.
A maximum of six vocalists are selected from those auditioning to take part in each instance of Prodigy. Vocalists auditioning but not selected for a Prodigy experience will be automatically under consideration for additional or subsequent experiences.
Rehearsals and recording sessions follow an intensive 8-week schedule. Performers are expected to rehearse on their own as well as in sessions with the group.
Finished commercial recordings created will be provided to participants for their private use, as well as released publicly by Aspire Music Academy and Born Into Royalty.
