AND TALKING HEADS // DEBATES DISCUSSIONS ‘BEN COOK VERSUS STORMZY’ CURATED BY RALPH HARDY NANG PRESENTS

POWERED BY NANG

JACKIE EYEWE MARKETING MANAGER, ATLANTIC RECORDS UK PARRIS OH URBAN PROMOTIONS MANAGER, SONY MUSIC UK SAM TAYLOR UK BRAND MANAGER, TUNECORE The Radar Radio DJ, That’s Nang founder and RWD scribe is on everybody’s hot-list and he’s creating an exclusive All Dayer segment especially for us. Labels are long, but they can work. Skepta and Stormzy have done wonders being independent, yet WSTRN may not be where they are today without the clout of a traditional label. We look into the pros and cons of both, and wrestle with the ways they can work.

DECODED CHAIR LORD ADEBOWALE CBE – CROSS BENCH PEER & CEO TURNING POINT AYISHAT AKANBI – STYLIST/ACTIVIST KIERAN YATES – JOURNALIST AYESHA HAZARIKA MBE - BPI, SENIOR ADVISOR/ STRATEGY AND COMMUNICATIONS RALPH HARDY - NANG KEITH HARRIS OBE - CHAIR, UK MUSIC DIVERSITY TASKFORCE Curated by Kieran Yates and chaired

by Lord Adebowale MBE, our keynote discussion will debate politics and prejudice and the glass ceiling for urban artists. We will explore solutions including music as a catalyst for change and the role of artists and creatives as community leaders.

THE POLITICS: #BRITSSOWHITE, #BLACKLIVESMATTER,

organised marches against police brutality, the refugee crisis and hate crimes post-Brexit have created a wider conversation about underlying prejudices

within our culture and the entertainment industry. Urban music is an independent driving force in the entertainment industry. Why is the industry still not a reflection of that diversity?

THE ARTIST:

Artists like Big Narstie, Stormzy, JME and Novelist have led the charge by speaking out on representation, barriers and glass ceilings. There are untold journeys of struggle and victory to be shared. What are the personal barriers you have faced in your music journey?

THE SOLUTION:

Mainstream apathy has led people of colour and other groups to create solutions to make their voices and stories heard. Voices like Kieran Yates, who last year created her own zine ‘British Values’, created a platform to tackle Britain’s antiimmigrant rhetoric.

BE A PART OF THE CONVERSATION.
