Here's Hoping with Jayda G Gender Equality & Finding Purpose in Dance Music with JAGUAR
In this episode, Jaguar and Jayda discuss their different trajectories into music and Jaguar’s personal experience of having a dream and what it took to make it into reality. She talks about the importance of people she looked up to, like Annie Mac, listening to what her dreams were and supporting them. She also discussed how challenging the music industry is right now and why she thinks forming a collective is the best antidote to a ‘broken music industry’. Jayda asks Jaguar all about her foundation and the immensely impressive ‘Gender Equality Report She did in UK Dance Music’, they discussed their main takeaways from the report and whether they think things have or haven’t improved for female and minority gender artists and DJs. Lastly, they muse on the importance of doing what fills your cup and making choices to do what gives you life back and supports you in your journey through life.
