#010: Being Mixed-Race in the Music Industry | Zara Smile

In this podcast, we delve into the experiences of an independent artist navigating the music industry and Liverpool's local scene through a mixed-race, non-binary and queer lens. Our guest Zara Smile as they share insights into challenges faced, using songwriting to share their anger at a broken system with the world, building an inclusive community through their work and the empowering role of music in amplifying diverse voices and narratives. We also discuss how both local and national music scenes can be more inclusive and understanding of people from marginalised backgrounds. This is the first of many episodes that discuss major societal issues in the music industry, and is a personal favourite.
