About this listen
Joining us at Audible Studios is spoken-word artist, George the Poet.
One of Britain’s greatest lyricists, George the Poet was born in London to Ugandan parents, and regularly performs about diversity, inclusion, equality and discrimination. In 2018 he was appointed a Member of the National Council of Arts Council England, and has worked across poetry workshops in secondary schools to opening the coverage on the BBC of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding with a poem about love. George the Poet has been nominated for BRIT Awards, been chosen by Sky Sports F1 to write poetry for Grand Prix race coverage, and won five British Podcast Awards for ‘Have You Heard George’s Podcast?’
We’ll be speaking with George the Poet to find out more about Track Record, his memoir which delves into community, colonialism and how these things shape the world around us. We’ll be asking what George learnt about the music industry from having a record deal, how his community growing up shaped him, and why colonialism still persists.
