    FounderThe Noise Narrative
    London, United KingdomPart Time
    During the first 2020 lockdown, I was furloughed. With my new-found free time, I decided to conceptualise and build an international publication. My goal was to create a platform that sought to address the global cultures that are under-represented in the UK media. Due to my experience in the industry, I decided to use the lens of music to actualise this goal. The platform publishes a range of content (interviews, deep-dive investigations, reviews, premieres, opinion pieces) from artists, labels and events that my team and I believe deserve to be heard. Since launch, The Noise Narrative has amassed a 20-strong international cohort of contributors, interviewed major figures and landed a residency on a major radio station. It has been an enjoyable side-project that has strengthened my skills in team management, leadership, SEO, content strategy, brand growth and creative bravery. A new function of the website, TNN Amplify, collates freelance music journalists to offer a bespoke PR service for artists, where they can receive 1 page of writing, an interview and unlimited amends for a cheap flat fee. Having some of the best freelance writers in one place makes it easy for artists to find the perfect writer to craft the perfect profile.
