I was born into the colourful backdrop of South London, Brixton. A Bangladeshi upbringing on the streets of London gave me an interesting perspective on life from an early age. This is where my passion for music and media ignited. Coming from an Asian and Muslim background, music and media was never seen as an option in my family. My parents and siblings never picked up a camera or an instrument, so for me to develop a burning passion for both was a surprise to them. Living in Brixton had a big impact on me and how positively I felt about my surroundings. My estate was full of creatives and from a young age I felt the urge to document and reinvent what I saw through music, film, and photography.

That journey is why I am drawn to youth and community work. Future Leaders feels like the kind of programme that gives young people permission to explore their voice, build real skills, and create something meaningful, not just for a session, but for their future. I enjoy shaping sessions that move from ideas to finished tracks, keeping the process structured, supportive, and led by the group’s taste and experiences.

I want to work with young people because I recognise how powerful it is when someone is seen, listened to, and given the tools to express themselves. Many young people carry talent but lack confidence, guidance, or access. Music can be the bridge. My aim is to create a safe space with clear boundaries and encouragement, where participants can take risks, collaborate, and leave feeling proud of what they have made and who they are becoming.
