My aim is to encourage bars and pubs in Hackney to hold more live music, creating higher exposure of an individual to his/her community, while enjoying an exciting communal atmosphere.

My project looks to encourage pubs, bars and venues to hold a regular amount of live music. This could be from everyday to a few dates a week. I believe that having a music quarter in London, much like New Orleans, would create community and investment in the area. I am open to all kinds of music being played but I have a close connection with the London jazz scene. I believe the musicians could be funded by a donation based system, making it easy for customers to donate to the musicians when buying drinks or from their tables.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
The reason I believe this is a great idea is because it fills a gap that exists in many of our communities. This is due to local businesses not having confidence in hosting live music. However if there is a culture of live music developing in the area it will attract and intergenerational and multicultral community invested in their own locality. I would use the grant to support businesses while the culture develops. Moreover, as in Cuba and New Orleans, where the culture of live music attracts people from all corners of the world, it will bring in revenue from tourism. Finally this project will increase the exposure of people to professional music. This will inspire both people to become musicians and musicians to develop, creating a higher quality of music in our communities and society.
Steps to get it done:
I believe this projet will be successful as I have connection to experienced software developers and many musicians and bars, being a musician myself. I have experience in event management in clubs and venues across London. I have studied at a conservatoire meaning I am plugged in to the London music scene. I have friends who are closely connected to council music services such as Hackney Music Service.

VolunteerI am full of energy and initiative and I am willing to take on all the challenges given to me. I am also good natured, which makes me easy to work with. I have been part of many successful sports teams which have taught me loyalty and how to be a good team player and a hard worker. I received multiple awards at school such as house colours. I frequently host and play at gigs, nights and clubnight events. I have travelled extensively in Europe and America and I have lived in Cuba (2014/15) and China (2007/8) studying at British School of Beijing. Added to my musical interests my hobbies include reading, riding, sailing, mountaineering, tennis, and gardening. I am reliable, organised and punctual and thrive on taking responsibility. In the past my jobs have included organising community events, babysitting, serving drinks and food at MAP Studio Cafe and The Grafton, cooking, filing, general office duties and I worked in construction for M. Lowe Builders. I am fluent in Spanish as I lived on my own in Cuba for a year post GCSE learning Music, Dance and Spanish Literature and Language. I was taught in the National Art School of Cuba (ENA) by some of the best musicians in the world. I also part run and promote a club night called Bubble, selling out two events with huge excess demand. I have also set up JJ's Jamwhich aims to bring together musicians to network and perform in the hope to connect and inspire their future careers.
