Cultural Producer | Curator of Inclusive Music & Live Experiences

I design and produce immersive cultural experiences that centre queer, Black, and Global Majority artists. With over a decade of experience across club spaces, festivals, and large-scale cultural events, my work brings together music, movement, and community to create platforms that challenge tokenism and prioritise long-term representation.

My practice sits at the intersection of curation, collaboration, and cultural strategy — building spaces where underrepresented artists are not just visible, but supported.

Booty Bass

Booty Bass Takeover, NoWhere Stage, Glastonbury 2024
Founder & Cultural Producer | 2018 – present

Booty Bass is a DJ collective and cultural platform founded in response to the music industry’s tokenistic approach to diversity. Built as an alternative infrastructure, Booty Bass creates events, stage takeovers, and festival programming that centre marginalised voices while pushing bass-driven sounds from across the global diaspora.

Since launching in Bristol, Booty Bass has grown from grassroots club nights into a nationally recognised collective, regularly selling out events and curating stages at major UK festivals including Boomtown, Shambala and Glastonbury. In 2024, the collective delivered sets at Shangri-La’s Nomad Stage — a space for underrepresented queer artists — and a takeover of the Nowhere Stage.

Beyond performance, Booty Bass has led on cultural production and safer-space planning. In 2023, the collective curated the first-ever female-led queer sound system at St Pauls Carnival (120,000 capacity), working with PHAT Bristol to ensure dedicated queer security. Collaborations include RepresentAsian, Popola, See No Evil, and Shade Cartel.

Focus: Line-up programming, artist development, cultural strategy, audience experience

Obsidian

Co-founder & Producer (with Shade Cartel)

Obsidian was co-founded with Shade Cartel as a platform dedicated to Global Majority talent, with brown queer women and non-binary artists at the forefront. What began as a collaborative night at Trinity Centre in Bristol evolved into a fully produced micro-venue showcased at Boomtown Festival and We Out Here Festival.

Bringing together Booty Bass DJs and Shade Cartel dancers, Obsidian blended sound, movement, and visual performance into a cohesive cultural experience — foregrounding collaboration, representation, and embodied storytelling.

Role: Co-founder, cultural producer
Focus: Cross-disciplinary collaboration, venue programming, performer-led experiences

St Pauls Carnival – Female-Run Soundsystem Stage

Conceptualised and delivered the first female-led soundsystem stage at St Pauls Carnival, creating a visible and powerful intervention within a traditionally male-dominated soundsystem culture. The stage prioritised women and non-binary Global Majority artists and embedded inclusive safety practices at scale.

Role: Curator & producer
Focus: Cultural intervention, large-scale event programming
