Tinchy Stryder has signed up to be one of the experts that speak out about music at the annual BBC Introducing Musician's Masterclass.

BBC Introducing is a scheme that was set up to expose the best of regional talent both on air and through the BBC's website with featured bands and artists also being given the chance to play the Introducing stages at UK festivals like Reading and Leeds and Glastonbury. 

This year's Introducing Masterclass will be held on February 3 at London's Abbey Road and Maida Vale studios and BBC Introducing's editor, Jason Carter, explained how the programme is designed:

"Solely built around developing musicians and advising them about all facets of the industry".

"From sessions on drumming and lyrics to the artist-led talks, the live streaming content online and available after will enable musicians from all over the UK to benefit from the wealth of advice on offer,"

Also on hand to mentor up and coming musicians will be Kaiser Chiefs.
