  Music4castMusic4cast is a monthly radio show that I produce and present. Starting as a YouTube series in 2017, it moved to a Mixcloud Select show in 2020 before being picked up by Foundation FM at the start of 2021. It highlights the best in the UK's Black music scenes, platforming the biggest releases, up and coming artists and those located outside the capital and the most established in the scenes. Previous shows have charted globally on Mixcloud's global charts.
