How it started

Launched in 2023 in a partnership with Youthsayers the free Jazz Reggae Afrobeat course encouraged 12-17 year olds to develop their live music playing alongside professionals.

In 2024 The Jazzrobeat Collective was created by the dedicated group of young musicians with support from CultureMix tutors Jamie and Ruel for live performances at Carnival of the World and Readipop Festival.
