Meet YSWN’s new Industry Lead

Meet YSWN’s new Industry Lead, Emily Jones!

Emily joined the team this month and will be super-charging our industry-facing work, including making connections with a range of audio organisations, devising and delivering equity training and advocating for YSWN’s mission far and wide.

You’ll doubtless be hearing more from Emily soon, so let’s hand over the mic so she can introduce herself further:

“I’m a consultant, artist and coach with over 15 years’ experience in the music industry. I’ve worked in senior positions and programming roles at renowned venues and festivals including The Glasshouse (Sage Gateshead), the Barbican, Cheltenham Jazz Festival, Symphony Hall Birmingham and others.

“Diversity and inclusion, particularly around gender, has been a strong thread throughout my career: I’m a director of Selextorhood, I’ve taught music production for Saffron, co-founded Future Proof for Bradley Zero’s Rhythm Section label and commissioned research on gender equity which was featured on Woman’s Hour and in the Guardian.

“I also produce music and DJ under the alias Echo Juliet.”

Welcome Emily, we’re so excited to have you on board and see what you have planned.
