Iām humble and proud to announce that Iām a participant in this yearās POWER UP programme from the PRS Foundation!
I had the opportunity to meet the other brilliant Year 3 cohorts and the amazing people behind the programme. Iām excited about the opportunities that this is going to bring about for us, our teams, our wider music communities and far beyond.
Power Up is working to address disparities and anti-black racism in the music industry, which will in the end raise each and every one of us up.
Iād like to thank all of the people and partners whoāve made this possible.
You can read more about the programme, partners and the rest of the participants.

Manchester Punk Festival, you beauty! This is event is one of the highlights on calendar, and it never disappoints. We didnāt post much during the fest this year. We were just too busy having fun and testing out new things (that we look to bring to you soon). Thanks to everyone that came up to the stall for a chat and stopped us on the way to a venue for catch up.
And whatās this? New faces? Iām sure that those of you whoāve met @simonimonimon will agree that heās such a dude.
Our collaboration with @esmusicldn has reinvigorated things for us, and Iām sure youāll see us both at more events in the near future.
See you next year!

Incredibly excited to be playing @decolonisefest next weekend with @themidwichcuckoos . Itās a small indie festival thatās got its pulse on all things punk and POC. And is POC are always making that culture, baby!
Make sure you check out the panels & workshops too. Tickets going fast!
Iām mentoring at @sxswlondon !

Last year, I had the absolute pleasure of speaking on BBC 1Xtra for their International Womenās Day Specialāsharing some of my journey in music and advice for anyone looking to start a label.
Huge thanks to @lyvonnethedon for having me, @bbc1xtra for the platform, and @smoothfuego for setting it up! šš¾
In case you missed it, hereās a snippet from the interview where I talk about getting started in the industry, the importance of community, and why we need to keep supporting women in music.
š¬ If you know a woman making waves in the sceneāgive them a shoutout in the comments! Letās keep the love going beyond just one day. š
