Founder & DirectorSecret 7"
London, United KingdomFull Time
Secret 7” combines music and art for a good cause - in five years it has raised over £200,000 for charities including; Teenage Cancer Trust, Amnesty International, Mind and War Child.
I developed the concept and continue to direct and deliver the project each year. Secret 7” has produced one-of-a-kind records by 42 incredible musicians; including John Lennon, The Rolling Stones, The Cure, Elton John, Black Sabbath & Public Enemy.
Over 4,200 visual artists have contributed original artwork for their tracks; including Peter Blake, Ai Weiwei, Anish Kapoor, Antony Gormley, Yoko Ono, Paul Smith, Gilbert & George, Jake & Dino’s Chapman and David Shrigley.
Each year the 700 unique records that are exhibited have all sold out, with people queuing for over 52 hours to have first pick. In 2015 we exhibited at Somerset House for a month and attracted over 22,000 visitors. Alongside the exhibition I programme a series of events; including workshops, talks and enabling the public to record a their own performance live to vinyl.
To support the growth of the project I have developed and managed well-aligned partnerships with Universal Music, Sony Music, Squarespace, Sonos, Monotype, Greenwich Peninsula and WeTransfer.
