When it comes to building our Spotify playlists, it’s sometimes easy to forget the faces behind the music, so in the spirit of making conscious choices that support artists from marginalised backgrounds, we’ve teamed up with Boiler room sensation and inclusivity activist DJ Gracie T to help you rebuild your 2023 track rotation.
Playing with On-The-Rise, an empowering collective of marginalised young creatives contributing to the betterment of society and The Beatriarchy, a platform providing safe spaces for LGBTQIA+, Black, Asian and marginalised groups, Gracie T is a front-runner in advocating for underrepresented artists.
You can catch her at Sounds From The Other City Sunday, May 30th, but in the meantime, here’s her list of 10 artists from marginalised backgrounds that need to be on your radar. Over to you, Gracie T…
