Michelle has been an integral part of my growth as an artist. We first met at in 2022 at a performance of mine and she invited me to her artist development programme in Brixton.
Since we met she has continued to provide productive council with the intention to help me become the best artist I can be. Weekly sessions with other artists gave me insight on the industry from a perspective outside of myself. A much needed experience.
Individually, she continues to connect me with producers and other artists, providing studio links and performance opportunities. The level of support received from her isn’t common, artists in the industry struggle to find someone as experienced as her who are willing to not only mentor, but invest in their career.
So I will always appreciate what she has done for me and the fellow creatives, especially because she still works hard to do the same things today.
