About Me

*Where I'm from to where I'm at*
Born in France where I grew up. Studied youth work and international community development in Bordeaux and Norwich. I have worked in this field for 8 years and have specialised in projects that crossover with the Arts.
I moved to Bristol 6 years ago..I started working at the Easton Community Centre where I was coordinating the BS5 Youth Project on & off for about 4 years. I organised 'Party in the Park' (2003 & 04) a community event for young people with a live music stage showcasing local young talent alongside established Bristol acts. In 2005 I worked with a group of young people 'Messy Productions' and organised two under 18's club night 'Increase the Peace'. In 2006, I focused on the events management side of things coordinating the big outdoor events for Bristol city council. I now work for REMIX, a youth music project, as programme coordinator setting up music activities for children & teenagers accross town www.remix-music.org.uk
Hip Hop + dance = Wicked! started street dance back in 96, then got into breaking and in the last few years I learnt a few Capoeira tricks..
In my spare time I check out what's going down in Bristol city and network in the urban arts scene, supporting and managing up & coming MCs, producers, singers, DJs and promoters. I also follow the work of graffiti artists and street dance crews. Whether it’s Hip Hop, Grime, Soul/RnB - it’s on this page…
