"The unfortunate thing is that because BBC is basically who chooses the lineups for the Reading and Leeds festivals Louis can never be on those lineups."
- an anon on Sea. Sea didn't contradict the anon but just went with it. It's not true though is it? Sorry, I'm not from the UK/Europe.
No, it's not true.
#the bbc sponsors 2 or 3 stages aligned with their stations#like 1Xtra focused on Black music and one focused on dance#but doesn't programme the main stages

DEJA - Mo Farah
ack with a sonic twist, DEJA reveals her latest single ‘Leave Me’, a feisty cut which refuses to turn its back on the good vibes of the summer, set to release this November 10th.
‘Leave Me’ is effortlessly powerful – both sonically and sentimentally. With mellow pads and an infectious afro-beat groove providing a bed to DEJA’s sassy vocals, she confidently delivers her message of keeping bad vibes away with the assistance of her indigenous African tongue.
The bar is continually lifted higher with each DEJA release as she demonstrates her innate musicality into various forms, from slow-tempo, hip-swaying R&B, to body-shaking, vibe-instilling afro-beats, illustrating her sheer versatility and unchallenged tenacity. Consistent across all her tracks, the energy of self-worth and self-love permeates as she continues on her one-woman mission of female empowerment.
In her own words, DEJA explains;
“Don’t get me wrong - I’m definitely an extrovert at heart but sometimes I just want to be left in my peace.

Cassandra Gracey, president, 4th Floor Creative
“Harry Styles – Harry’s House. The album is a classic and I will be listening for decades to come.”
Dipesh Parmar, president, Columbia
“This is slightly off-piste for my dance creds, but Harry Styles has done it again! Harry’s House is the epitome of the perfect credible pop record. It's confident, yet fragile but also so incredibly slick, I love the fact that As It Was is laid back production-wise, but the lyrics remains so powerful at the same time.”
Chris Price, head of music, BBC Radio 1/1Xtra
“If you could alchemize the perfect blend of my personal and professional passions in a lab, it would sound an awful lot like Harry’s House by Harry Styles. Creatively it draws on many of my ’60s and ’70s heroes – Harry Nilsson, David Bowie and Paul McCartney among others – layering contemporary pop production onto exceptional song writing for standout singles that light up the radio. A week after it came out, Harry headlined Radio 1’s Big Weekend in Coventry – it was a joyful celebration of an album that would go on to become the biggest of the year.”
Nick Burgess, co-president, Parlophone
“Harry's House and our very own Gabriels’ Angels & Queens Part 1.”

Radio 1 Head of Music Chris Price explains the radio station’s enormous influence on an artist’s popularity by their placement on BBC 1’s A Playlist.
SZA’s 2017 album CTRL only peaked at No.45 last year with the release of a deluxe edition.
SZA secured playlists at BBC Radio 1, 1Xtra, Kiss, Kiss Fresh, Capital FM and Capital Xtra on this campaign. BBC Radio 1 currently has SZA on its A List in the form of Lizzo’s Special remix.
“We added Kill Bill straight to our A List as we believed in SZA and this track so much, and it is definitely a song that benefits from repeat plays as it has that incredibly catchy hook. By playing the song so much it meant that we were able to shine a light on SZA as an artist to a section of our audience that doesn’t listen to her.”
In the UK, playlist inclusion on BBC Radio 1 is vital to artists’ popularity to a general audience. SZA’s success with SOS is due entirely to streaming, as the album has no physical edition.
On the flip side, being almost completely excluded from radio play has the exact opposite effect.

hi queen, could you maybe give some insight on how you got into the motorsport social media world, for people who are maybe interested in that career?
hello anon, sorry this is probably gonna get long
so the short version is: I was already working in social media for Radio 1/1xtra/2/6 so handling some pretty big accounts etc. after that I wrote additional social content for Netflix shows and then I moved on to some big motorsport ones.
which is a boringly unhelpful answer because 'just already be a producer at the BBC' is not really a career path.
that said, I do know how it works.
the first thing is: social media is a broad genre. you should take some time to work out what kind of social you like making; if you're into graphic design, for instance, that's a social media job but so is writing TikTok scripts or posting as a brand or driver.
I would recommend making some kind of low pressure account and using it to mess around. give yourself a chance to find out what you're good at, if you're not going in knowing - me, I can write and I can produce but I'm not an enthusiastic or quick video editor and graphic design is definitely not my passion.
once you've worked out what you want to do, start at grassroots. there's going to be a point (this is the way with all passion fields) where you have to gain some experience by working for free. there's two ways to do this: find a grassroots motorsport thing (a person, an event, a Formula Student team, whatever) and propose doing their social media. a lot of drivers keep the same social media agency as they go all the way up the ladder (Lando's done this, for instance) so it can be a route to bigger things in and of itself. but most importantly it can get you experienced in negotiating the world of motorsport social media - how to deal with things like broadcast rights and where you can and can't film in a paddock, how to drive engagement and interact with fans, etc.
the other option is to start a project account. something like The Female Drive, which is run by a Sauber engineer. that's a really good example of an account that shows obvious skill in producing social content without creating an unreasonable work burden. the account becomes both something that you own, as its own little motorsport property and a showcase for what you can do. it's a really good way to start getting yourself accreditation or being noticed. on a bigger scale but still coming from that grassroots start, Parc Fermé have made a major success launching their agency like that, due on a major level to Lids' incredible photography but it shows the worth of going down that route and basically creating your own job.
if what you want to do is present TikTok, obviously, then you just need to start doing that and working on improving. make the type of content you want to make - that won't be interviewing Max Verstappen from the outset but you can find other ways to make it work. be creative, use your friends, do the things you'd like to watch.
the third way, which you should not do, is working what should be a paid role. a good (well, bad) example of this is this Formula Nerds recruitment ad that I saw earlier today. under UK law, you can't be a volunteer with responsibilities and volunteer roles, which are actually very regulated, have to be demonstrably beneficial to the holder. it's also just extremely shitty that people ask people to work for free; if your publication isn't making enough money, you do that yourself and you can hire people when it is.
if you want to gain experience in a professional setting, look out for internship schemes. you'll be better placed if you can show them examples of your work, which is why it's good to do that earlier experience but they should be regulated, clearly marked as an internship and paid. motorsport is a multibillion-dollar industry where even at the lowest levels thousands of pounds are changing hands, you do not work for free unless it's for yourself.
some good people to look out for opportunities with are Rosie from 115dgrs, Lois at MP, Revolution Comms, Influence Associates and Pace Six Four.

THE NEW TITAN OF UK RAP NEMZZZ DROPS DEBUT MIXTAPE DO NOT DISTURB
Manchester rapper Nemzzz today (Friday 15th March) unveils his much-anticipated debut mixtape DO NOT DISTURB. The 11-track tape is Nemzzz’s most expansive drop to date, an exploration of how the young artist is shaped by his upbringing and his fame. DO NOT DISTURB is available in physical format on CD & cassette in a first for the Mancunion.
Marrying bars laced with Nemzzz’s wicked sense of humour, earworm hooks and a raw soulful-drill production - DO NOT DISTURB is set to cement Nemzzz’s status as the new titan of UK Rap. Opening with late night confession ‘REFLECTION’, Nemzzz raps with real bite about the pitfalls of social media activism. New single ‘ETA’ sees Nemzzz unite with German rap heavyweight Luciano, trading bars over a siren-like beat. The new cut arrives with a video shot by DonProd in Frankfurt whilst Nemzzz was in town to appear at Luciano’s stadium show.
Recent single ‘PTSD’ splices a haunting vocal flip with a laid-back production from frequent collaborator Zel, as Nemzzz turns teacher once more - speaking on how he uses his music as catharsis to process his feelings. The cut landed last month to a co-sign from Central Cee. The shimmering, jazz inflected ‘L’S’ arrived in January to acclaim from the likes of The Observer, Fader, CRACK, NME spins across BBC Radio 1, 1Xtra and more.
Atmospheric, intense cut ‘DOOM’ gives way to the relaxed groove of playful love song ‘STAR SIGN’. On ‘NEED YOU’, Nemzzz rides out the ups and downs of a toxic relationship. ‘REASSURANCE’ melds ghostly vocal samples with a stripped back production as Nemzzz reassures his girl he’d drop her off for her ‘nails, hair, lash appointment too’. Nemzzz picks up the pace on ‘VENICE’ featuring rising rapper JayG. Title track ‘DND’ details how the run-up to the project was filled with hostile haters and the need to cut off day one friends. Rounding out the tape is ‘MONEY AND VIBES’, which sees Nemzzz bring UK flavour to a flip of Justin Timberlake’s ‘Rock Your Body’. The single topped the A list at 1Xtra on release last year and continues to rack up over +1M streams a week.
Nemzzz is one of the most exciting breakout rap talents of recent years. An old head on young shoulders, Nemzzz is relatable in a different way than a lot of his rap peers; driven less by punchlines about Birkin bags and more by the challenge of helping his young fans navigate their way through growing pains. The rapper is shaped by his tough upbringing in Gorton, using his music to reflect on his experiences including heartbreak, fake friends, financial literacy, finding your own path, and managing mental health amid social media addiction.
The DO NOT DISTURB tape follows a massive 2023 for the young star with a consistent slate of releases including his debut EP Nemzzz Type Beat (which was pulled together in just 17 days in a flex of his innate talents) alongside a string of singles including ‘Therapy’ (Spotify Rap UK Cover) and ‘8AM IN MANNY’ which landed to props from some of the biggest rappers in the world - Drake and Lil Yachty. Last year saw Nemzzz deliver his first sold-out headline tour alongside performances at festivals including Glastonbury, Ibiza Rocks and more.
Nemzzz will be heading out on his second headline tour this Spring with dates across the UK and Ireland. He will be kicking off in Dublin on 30th April and culminating in a homecoming show on 7th May in Manchester. With three dates already sold out - the tour is set to be another huge smash for the young star. TICKETS/MORE INFO
Since bursting onto the scene at the tender age of 14, Nemzzz has relentlessly chipped away at his craft – building steady buzz amongst the industry, media and fans alike. With over 180M combined streams in 2023, 9 Million TikTok views, tips including BBC Radio 1xtra's Hot For 2023, Amazon Music x Hunger Magazine Ones To Watch, No Signal Class of ’23, Best Newcomer Nominee MOBO Awards 2022, plaudits from Pitchfork, The Face, DAZED, The Guardian, HYPEBEAST, CLASH, Complex UK and NME - Nemzzz is making serious moves.
