Kirsten Evans is a British composer who has most recently completed working in the music departments for the Hulu Original 'I am Greta' and the new Marvel movie 'Morbius' during her first year as a freelance media music composer. She has co-composed and been the vocalist for Wales' national entry to the Venice Biennale in 2017, which then toured the UK after it's 5 month stay in Venice with over 30,000+ visitors. Kirsten is the founder of two start up companies, ‘Soundbake' plans to help break down the masculine undercurrent of the virtual instrument market, whereas ‘Uglicat' is a coaching business that helps new freelance musicians, who struggle to monetise their skills in an achievable, profitable and fulfilling way. Kirsten reached out to me via email and it was so lovely to hear about an industry which I personally know so little about. The general consensus throughout this episode is, do not be worried if you send hundreds of emails and no one gets back, they may well reply over the course of time and if not, pester them! Kirsten is an incredible talent, working in a very male dominated industry, with 94% of box office scores being written by men in 2018. Please lap up all information you can from this episode and I hope you leave feeling as inspired as I did when recording.

Lizzie Knott and Rosie Smith are two very talented illustration artists, who I worked with for the creation of Noisy Women merch, which was released at the end of 2020. With most of the collection now sold out, we wanted to record a podcast chatting through the collection and how the ideas came about. Lizzie and Rosie are two individuals who I found because of the pandemic, we have been connected on Instagram for months, often chatting about our individual businesses and how we have been affected because of covid. Lizzie Knott is an illustrator who recently graduated from Cambridge School of Art, receiving Highly Commended in the World Illustration Awards 2020: New Talent, Design, Product and Packaging. Her work has been seen globally through articles for The BBC - she is a rising talent and I feel very honoured that her designs are being worn by so many of you!! Rosie Smith is the founder of Lazy Disco, a Brighton based jewellery company. Rosie is a very quirky and fun individual, creating unique designs from polymer clay. Her small business, when I first discovered her, has since bloomed and exploded into a huge scale business, with her products selling out within minutes. Being inspired by doodling, daydreaming and pop music, I was thrilled to work with her on the tote bag design.

If you're a budding music photographer, this episode is a must. Coming from a musical background herself, Lindsay began by balancing her office job in transport with making music with her band. She realised that this career path was not that of her dreams, that she wanted to be the other side of the barrier at Festivals and Gigs. After sneaking into photo pits, she began shooting concerts and it's all happened from there. From being on the road with IDLES to shooting their gig at the O2 in London, Lindsay is an incredible asset to the photographic world.

Jessie and Harriet are two extremely talented music and portrait photographers living and creating across the UK. Jessie is most known for her work with Orchards and Emily Burns, with Harriet working closely alongside Black Honey for many years. My path first crossed with Harriet in 2017 at Boardmasters Festival, I avidly followed her online before we finally met for coffee in January 2019. I've watched her grow and develop as a creative and she has always been there for me as an older creative sister as it were. Jessie and I became friends through Instagram I believe, meeting properly at Reading in 2019 for the first time. I adore Jessie's style of work, her creative drive and like me she is still studying her undergraduate degree. This was a wonderful episode to record, we rented a little studio and chatted away for an hour before heading our separate ways, showing that you don't need to stay in regular contact with those you love, sometimes an hour catch up is perfect.
