Many Voices playlist: RAY BLK, Erika de Casier, DJ Q and more
As the first Commissioning Editor in the Many Voices programme, I’m looking at the experiences of underrepresented voices in Scottish arts and culture and to run alongside this project, I’ll be publishing a weekly playlist of new tracks by artists of colour. This will be a soundtrack of sorts to the Many Voices programme, but above all else, a great opportunity for me to share some new acts and fresh releases.
