Aside from her life as a fabulous multi-instrumentalist - bassist in Big Joanie, guitarist in Charmpit, drummer in the enigmatic Dirty Girl and solo synthesiserist (I just made that word up) - Estella Adeyeri is building communities and networks that are about providing opportunities and voices for the many, not just the few:
She is a member of the team behind Decolonise Fest, an incredible music festival organised by and for punx of colour, she's a board member of Good Night Out Campaign which is all about safety on nights out, free from sexual harassment and violence, she volunteers at Girls Rock London which provides development and support for young and adult women, trans and nonbinary people.
Oh, and she's also a fantastic DJ.
Doesn't leave much time for Netflix….. 😎
There is a lot that we can all learn from Estella's perspectives and what really struck me was her growth mindset: she's a collaborator; she's getting more comfortable with taking risks despite her own tendency to be a perfectionist; she's experimenting with new ways of working with sounds and people and she is always learning from herself and from others.
