Artists and companies at Tileyard include Mark Ronson, Tynchy Stryder, The Prodigy, John Newman, Notting Hill Music, Marathon Artists, Spitfire Audio, Musicgurus and many more.

We are delighted to welcome the ICMP to Tileyard, marking the first of several major new education partnerships and programs to be announced.”
Tileyard Studios is a creative community within which artists and musicians can thrive and is located within easy reach of ICMP’s Kilburn home. Our vision, to see our graduates shaping the future of music, aligns perfectly with the ethos of Tileyard Studios. And with over 80% of ICMP graduates already in work or in further study within 6 months of graduation, and over two thirds working within the creative industries, we are confident that this opportunity will further provide our students with an unrivalled experience.

It will provide ICMP with access to fantastic new education facilities at Tileyard for teaching and learning, as well as establishing our provision at the heart of the global music industry.
