BA Music students at the University of Plymouth ordinarily undertake a Professional Development module in their second year. During this module, they would find and undergo placements, typically within the music industry or local community.

As a result, Module Leader Lee Whittock had to find a new, creative way for students to develop professional skills and workplace experience, one of which being the creation of a record label.
