Yes, absolutely. Lyon mentors work with artists from across France and internationally. They're particularly open to artists making hip-hop, electronic, and indie music, regardless of where you're based.

Lyon mentors cover a wide range including hip-hop, electronic, indie rock, experimental, pop, and alternative music.

Staying independent is valid, but mentorship can accelerate your growth and help you avoid common pitfalls.
