SoCo: Great, thanks. Now – can you tell me, what have you learned through being involved in the project?
MLK: I’ve learned now to promote a new release more accordingly
SoCo: Great, yes, it’s been great to see it get out there. And how has being part of the project has helped you express yourself through your music, or develop your music?
MLK: It’s helped me improve my song writing and spot the pros and cons in the song writing, in order to make improvements. It’s also given me a chance to experience what it’s like to have a lot of funding behind promotion which has given me more insight on how important promotion is. It was also a good opportunity to meet various artists to gain inspiration and help me get more involved with working with new people.
SoCo: Fantastic, great, thanks, that’s so important isn’t it? What other impact has this project had – maybe on your wellbeing, your emotional state?
MLK: I felt really positive about it all and it gave me more assurance in my confidence to be able to start making music as a career.

MLK: It’s been really useful, it’s guided me more on how to promote myself for the future with promotional techniques or strategies
SoCo: And what will your next step be now?
MLK: I’ve got three! I’m going to make more official uploads on platforms such as Spotify, and I’m going to work with more artists such as foor so I can be more active in the music scene. And I’m going to research and learn how to self promote more
