Here are is the formidable panel of industry execs which covers the full spectrum of the UK Music Industry.

The Austin, Texas-hailing festival of convergence, lands in the UK capital for the inaugural @sxswlondon from 2-7 June, taking over dozens of venues, galleries, clubs and other spaces in East London over the course of the week.

OMG we made a festival with CHAKA KHAN!!!

Meltdown Festival starts this Friday and runs for 10 amazing days. Chaka helped us curate the festival, so you know that all the artists taking part have been personally selected and invited by Chaka herself

There’s lots of free events that you can get involved with alongside the individually ticketed shows.

We can’t wait to see you all there, check out the @southbankcentre website 🔎 Meltdown.

1 YEAR TODAY!! 🏆🎉👑

Today I celebrate my 1 year anniversary of working at the @southbankcentre and my move to London.

It’s been a jam packed year which I would describe as riding a very freaking fast rollercoaster!!!

Massively grateful for my team past @ademholness and present @edithescobar_ for supporting me and keeping me sane on this journey. We achieved A LOT🫶🏽

I’m now on level 2 of the game 👾 where the challenges are bigger but the rewards are higher.
Challenge accepted!

‘The Water Carrier’. An opera written & directed by Roxanne Tataei.

Sharing this WIP at the Southbank centre, has been transformative. A surrealist, non-linguistic opera, centring black women/ women with black heritage, unravelling the Strong Black Woman trope.

So grateful for everything this piece has given me, including access to some spaces of my dreams.

It’s still in its early stages, but it’s in development and the journey has begun ✨

WATER HAS MEMORY AND IT REMEMBERS.

With thanks to: @southbankcentre @ademholness @ma.moyo @gyallikemelo @cleo.jahina @abiolaonabule @ibiyecamp @__selasi__ @freyabramblecarter
