Jasmine is a force of nature. At only 24 years old, she is The Music Federation's Head of PR, working across a wide roster of bands and artists. How did she get there? As a teenager, Jasmine was dreaming of finding a job that would allow us to be surrounded by the bands she loved. Her love for writing pushed her to pursue a career in journalism, one she started at the age of 16 when she created her own blog and would review live gigs.

In the episode, Jasmine discusses many of the projects she's been and still is involved in, including curating the latest New Moons charity compilation album, launching The Music Federation’s Safe Space policy, and starting the Fangrrl PR & Promotions business, while also sharing great advice for young women looking to develop a career in the music industry.

Following a degree in Economics and Mathematics, combining his passion for Music, Business and Data, Jeremiah built a career that's been and still is going strong. Cutting his teeth as part of the commercial team at Universal Music, he then joined Warner to lead the Commercial Analytics team there. Currently, Jeremiah is Head of Data & A&R Analytics at Atlantic Records UK. Leading the label’s data efforts, he works across Commercial, Marketing and A&R teams to aid with strategy and decision-making using data.

Jeremiah is also passionate about working towards increasing access to the music industry, with a particular interest in people from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. During his career, Jeremiah has put in place numerous internship programmes to support young talent from such backgrounds.
