‘Ben Cook Versus Stormzy [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, NANG founder and RWD scribe, Ralph Hardy, is on everybody’s hot-list and he’s created 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 - Senior Adviser / Strategy And Communications, BPI
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 about 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 anti-immigrant rhetoric.

Scully
In a sea of online streaming and music providers including Spotify, Tidal, Apple, Mixcloud, Radar and SoundCloud, does FM and DAB radio still matter to young people and why? Reprezent presenters discuss radio’s role in youth culture, as a platform for social discussion and airing issues that affect young people, as a space for emerging artists to reach out to a new audience, and as a community ‘meeting space’ running parallel to social networks. Where is the defining sound of youth culture?
