“The Spit Game... reminds me of the way we used to perform back in the day… me, Dizzee Rascal Wiley Kano …” Biz shouting out Spit Game at Youth Music Awards 2022

A monologue from the perspective of a schoolboy which I wrote with (and is performed by) one of my young rappers/actors (Toni - previously of @HarrisFedMusic). Follows a schoolboy’s interactions and hidden struggles 💙 Full video on Spit Game YouTube

Rap Club/Spit Game, Tyrelle and myself were featured as part of Soweto Kinch’s #rethinkingmusic series of BBC Radio 4 today💙 Catch the full thing on BBC Sounds (also feat. Matt Griffiths from Youth Music) - this is a clip from Ty #musiced Restore The Music UK

First three episodes here have been excellent. Interviews with Jimmy Rotheram (@musicedu4all.bsky.social) and Ben Turner (who told me about Restore The Music UK helping me to raise £10,000 for @rhylprimary) Some proper critique of just how poor music provision is in the UK, especially England. bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/m…

The twins and I decided to make a short film last summer. We wrote it in 1 day. Filmed it on another. No budget. Just us. And now it is in the official selection for a #bafta qualifying film festival🤯

A clip from a monologue we wrote, performed by Tyrelle called ‘Even When There’s Clouds’. It's about a Black boy who is hiding his pain. Really proud of the work we been putting in to develop Ty’s acting - big things coming 🙏🏾

Absolutely tired of being asked to speak at conferences and being the only person of colour speaking or leading a workshop. I'm aware that there may not be many of us who have the time or even want to (for a myriad of reasons), but still. If you get it, you get it.
