Created to support the development of outstanding female Black artists in the early stages of their careers and to support the creation of ground-breaking, genre-bending and alternative original music, the Women in Jazz Media Kicking Down The Door Creator Fund showcase night is not to be missed! Hosted by Ivors nominated Ashaine White, tonight will see performances from our first award recipients Mary Sho, Olympia Vitalis and Rybes 

The Kicking Down The Door Creator Fund was created to break down assumptions and stereotypes within the music industry by encouraging role models for future generations of female Black Alternative artists and to raise awareness of the female Black artists creating genre-bending and exceptional new music. Tonight will help us increase the profile of female Black Alternative Music and showcase the creation of authentic music creation outside of industry stereotyping and assumptions
