Finding Collaborations, Partnerships Brand Associations for People in Music [W4M Webinar Series Two]

Join Intalekt, Pritt, Savannah Simms & Anna Marie Descartes and our other panellists for this inspiring event on collaboration and partnerships. Learn how to exchange value and expand your brands reach at this Webinar.

For most music artists, managers and campaigners, one of the most exciting aspects of any campaign would be the collaborative efforts with other brands. Throughout the time of modern music, brands & bands/artist teams have been seen forming relationships with each other to co-develop and promote each other. This has led to moments like Stormzy x Adidas, Loyle Carner & Calm (Mental Health) & Billy Eilish with Urban Outfitters.
----------
The work we do at W4M is all about helping young people to access opportunities in music. The aim of the webinar series is about just that. We want to share stories from current W4M members, industry pros and emerging artists and professionals, with time for young people to ask questions and connect with one another.

Pritt

R&B artist Pritt emerges from a Tamil background which has influenced her style immensely, allowing herself to be as expressive as possible to take a pivotal stance in her art and proud of her culture.

South London raised songstress' uses her femininity to empower stereotypes of women in urban music and takes an ‘Eastern meets Western’ stand on her music; an un-orthodox approach on honest relatable lyrics couples with Carnatic melisma. Pritt, who uses her ethnicity being Tamil, presents her music with pride inflicting Asian implications which pulsate throughout the melodic steps; trap overwhelms yet compliments the artist’s voice marrying the genre and the peculiarity as one. Her debut EP "unknown" is a perfect example of this - released May 25th 2018.

Over the past couple years, she has worked with BBC 1Xtra presenter Sian Anderson on a project called NEXXT STEP: Women in Music sponsored by the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan. The project released an EP called BEHIND EVERY GREAT CITY where she featured on Isolate (feat. Pritt & Toaozay) and Out of Her Mind (feat. Pritt & Jamila Kabir). She is currently working with grime rapper Chip and his label, Cash Motto on a project soon to be released.
