What does your Trustee organisation do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

UD Music Foundation<\/a> brings communities together around black music\/black music culture and acts as a bridge between talent and the music industry. UD connects with nearly 2,500 young people a year \u2013 helping develop the creative and business skills of talented, independent musicians emerging in the music industry. The young people UD has supported now work at industry institutions such as Island Records, Warner ADA, Beats by Dr Dre, Live Nation, Outlook Festival and MTV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why were you interested in becoming a Trustee?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Becoming a Trustee is a natural extension of my commitment to UD\u2019s mission and values. Over the years, I\u2019ve supported UD through pro bono legal work, gaining firsthand insight into its transformative impact on emerging talent and community-building through music. This work deepened my appreciation for the organisation\u2019s role in fostering creativity and opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serving as a Trustee allows me to contribute in a broader capacity\u2014beyond legal advice\u2014by offering strategic guidance, governance oversight and leadership to ensure UD continues to thrive. It\u2019s an opportunity to align my personal passion with my professional skills while playing an active role in shaping the foundation\u2019s future sustainability and impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Briefly describe your role as a Trustee and what involvement you have in your organisation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As a Trustee for UD, my role combines strategic oversight, governance and hands-on support to advance the organisation\u2019s mission. While I continue to provide pro bono legal advice, I\u2019m conscious of separating this from my Trustee duties to ensure each decision is made with the right perspective (and being cognisant of the obligations that apply to both).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key aspects of the role include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
