The artist's voice -Podcast

The Artist's voice is a platform for artists to talk about and showcase their form of art. Inviting all artists to express their love for what they do and use this platform to give an insight into their world. All dancers, choreographers, teachers, musicians, singers, composers, creators of art; this is the place to show and tell.

The Artist’s voice

I believe in the importance of creating awareness and showing support for the many creative individuals and organisations who are fighting to create and envision a future where Arts and culture remain important and relevant in our society.

With this project, I want to give artists a louder voice and a platform for them to express themselves as individuals and to share their inspiring stories and perspectives. The arts have contributed a significant amount to the evolution of humanity and society, and we should not forget the individuals who have devoted their lives to the arts; nor should we disregard the artists of today.

I also hope to indirectly contribute to educating the younger generations of the significance of the Arts. The Arts have been somewhat neglected within the educational system. I believe all forms of art are a perfect foundation from which to build a greater understanding and tolerance of each other and an understanding of the value of all forms of art in society.
