Earlier this year, POWER UP Year 5 members came together at Amazon Music for a day focused on financial empowerment, investment and building sustainable creative careers 💰

The sessions explored everything from our relationship with money as Black creatives to practical routes for securing funding and investment 💥

Huge thanks to for an insightful money mindset workshop, alongside representatives from PRS Foundation, and , as well as , and MBE for sharing their expertise on social and angel investment 🎶

It was fantastic to connect with fellow Year 5 grantees, POWER UP alumni from Years 1–4 and the PRS Foundation team ❤️

An intense day of learning, reflection and conversation, but one that left us feeling informed, inspired and better equipped for the future ✨

With thanks to our partners:

Our friends at UK Music have launched their annual This Is Music Creators’ Survey aimed at UK-based artists, musicians, DJs, vocalists, songwriters, composers, producers, and engineers 🎶

The survey will help them to calculate the incredible economic contribution the industry made to the UK last year and enable UK Music and its member organisations to be more effective in speaking to government about issues that impact you 🎼

On 30 January, the POWER UP cohort linked up at the iconic Southbank Centre for a proper focused meet-up rooted in community, cultural currency and building sustainably in this game.

Big love to and the team for holding space for us.



Yaw and Ben encouraged everyone to make these final four months count and lock in those vital memberships and links before the programme wraps.



Our Year 5 cohort had space for genuine connection, active listening and meaningful networking - plus a powerful in-conversation with POWER UP alum Jamz Supernova, who spoke honestly about the importance of in-person connection, setting digital boundaries and protecting your creative energy at all costs.



We were also joined by representatives from , , , , , , and who all took the time to get to know our POWER UP members on a 1-1 basis ✨
