Why is fostering a positive culture in the music industry important to you?
I am passionate about equality, diversity, and inclusion and enjoy representing unheard and underrepresented voices in the music and entertainment industries.
My main aims and motivations are to help diversify the music industry landscape, as well as help improve representation, and access, as well as help educate and inform others of the barriers certain groups face.
I love helping artists form campaigns, and marketing personas and improve in terms of artistic development, and commercial success. For this reason, I am looking to form a company to help represent unheard voices and offer music marketing, artist development, and management advice. I am currently managing dance/ electronic house artists, but I am looking to form the first commercial transgender girl band in the UK!
Being a transgender music professional has come with barriers and challenges. I help inform and educate others on Barrie’s people from underrepresented and unheard communities face across the U.K.
What’s your day-to-day like?
Mentoring, informing, educating, Attending conferences and events, collaborating with other professionals, and issues around equality and diversity.
My MA in International Music Marketing with Distinction and forming the first commercial trans girl group
