Directed by Ade Femzo, we follow a typical day in the life of six hopeful musicians along with studio sessions with Kojey Radical as they bring their unique perspectives into what they make. This is the second instance of projects Kojey Radical is involved with (which are funded by Dr Marten’s “Tough As You” initiative). We see a case of this artist seeking to break the divisions that make creating music a luxury only some can afford.  In finding ways for communities of young people to express themselves in social spaces, those who for so long have been underrepresented in such a fickle industry can join the conversation through art. Watch the promo for this new film down below:

Discussing the aim of his latest endeavours, Kojey Radical stated; “You can’t beat that youthful excitement to be here – if you can give that opportunity to young people that really want it and you can see and feel that hunger that’s what it’s about. It’s inspiring for me; it’s inspiring to them and it’s only going to do good things in the long run.”

Through Music We Rise is set to launch a free screening on the 27^th of June 2022 at Concorde, Homerton which will also feature a panel discussion between Kojey Radical and Rise 365 to raise awareness for his mentorship scheme with particular focus on those growing up on the Kingsmead Estate in East London.
