We've made it to the milestone episode 30! After all the guests i've had in the past from a wide variety of backgrounds and professions I'm finally here. Who better to have on as a guest to hit this milestone with than a voice of the future? The elegant and sophisticated Saïna! Had to organise and host 2 concerts but yes I finally have a British artist on here (sorry not sorry) lol
It may be episode 30 but we hit a lot of firsts with this one. Saïna is my first guest who is a British recording artist, first guest of Japanese heritage and first guest to have performed at my concert!
We talk about her journey into music, the inner workings of her process and how it's all been so far. As much as you might see things online about how it all works, there are a lot of gems in there on how the music industry in the UK is like.
Between this and the last episode a few big events have taken place:
1. Hear:HER International Women's Day concert which I organised with Asian Tones and hosted Saïna and 5 other amazing up and coming Asian artists (Pritt, Lucy Tun, Lila Yin, Kaisha, Keydott). Good turn out and really positive responses at the iconic XOYO, Shoreditch!
2. The Migration Museum opened the Taking Care Of Business exhibition in Lewisham which tells the story of migrants who have come to the UK and set up the shops which make up the heart and soul of neighbourhoods across the UK. Chinese takeaways, corner shops, laundry mats and much more, it's a preservation of an untold legacy which has paved the way for . Angela Hui (TimeOut journalist and author of Takeaway) curated the takeaway section where she recreated the shop front she grew up with and featured pictures of takeaway fronts across the UK, one of them being mine. There are also interviews she conducted with takeaway kids too which can be heard on the wall phone, mine is number 4!
3. I did a podcast episode with Saïna for her podcast Lost In The Mix! So this is a nice little swapsies situation we have. After you've listened to this episode go and listen to the episode I did with her!
And with that thank you everybody who's made it with me this far. Go check out all the guests i've had in the past and until next time, peace!
