URBAN DEVELOPMENT: INDUSTRY TAKEOVER!

Urban Development is a creative music brand/company. They specialise in music journalism, live events and professional development.  I chose to work with them to gain confidence in marketing and creative design all round, even though i study graphic design at Central St Martins. I also love urban music, fashion and live events.
The UK artists such as MC Versatile, Lioness and Roxxxan, environment i work in and the people i talk to really inspire me. So far i have taken part in the Industry Takeover shows at Rich Mix. These shows have helped me gain contacts with the magazine industry, (magazine design and creative writing). Last week i just met Chantelle Fiddy who writes for The Guardian and also has friendships with upcoming musicians.

Beats, Business & Beauty: Women in music
I found the event very informative and interesting. Annika Allen was one of the panellists who i wanted to see, she studied at London College of Communication. She explained the route she took to get herself into journalism, now she is a journalist for Flavour Magazine.
