There are certain individuals in life who have such a profound effect on the people they meet, the memory of them lives on forever. This can be said of Richard Antwi, a music manager responsible for assisting in the careers of legends such as Wiley, Wretch 32, Lethal Bizzle, Tinie Tempah and many more.
After studying law at Oxford, Richard established respect through his hard work within the music industry, going on to have an established career as a music lawyer, manager and entrepreneur, he was always quietly at the centre of everything.
After his sudden passing age 38, friends of Richard put together The Richard Antwi Scholarship Fund after recognising the appreciation for him throughout the industry and beyond. The scholarship is only available at the University of Westminster when taking the Music Business Management M.A and is for young, hungry, entrepreneurially spirited individuals with aspirations in music and tech. Richard himself had contributed to the course as a guest speaker.
This scholarship has the potential to change someone’s life. Full scholarship includes the cover of full fees, substantial contribution to living expenses up to £10,000, as well as a work placement aligned with the scholar’s professional focus and aspirations.
Undergraduate degrees are not essential to study the course but what is integral is hustle, there needs to be proof of your passion for music and entrepreneurial endeavors.
