Yizzy: Power Up Music Creator
Yizzy
Grime
Since 2017 I have emerged into the UK Grime/ Rap scene as an artist to push the genre forward. I have had a huge amount of support from the public and industry. I was one of the youngest artists to perform at Glastonbury in 2017, via the emerging talent competition. I also won the first ever BBC Introducing Future Fund award in late 2017.
These 2 events gave me a springboard and a platform to develop my fanbase and release various successful projects, performing at Parklife, Leeds, Reading, Field Day and many more festivals. I have also performed in the Ukraine, representing the UK Foreign Office and in Germany, Estonia and Holland.
2 of my songs have featured on some of the biggest games in the world (UFC & Fifa), and i have also had a song placed within an Adidas advert. I have released songs with Dizzee Rascal and JME, independently via my own label.
Recently I was commissioned to write a piece that can be viewed on BBC iPlayer called “I Just Stabbed Someone”. This is seen as a follow up to my 2019 release ‘3 Minutes To Live’ which is critically acclaimed, and saw coverage via The Evening Standard,BBC News, ITV, Channel 5 and RT TV.
“Being part of Power Up will empower me with the tools and support network to break through these ‘ceilings’ and barriers imposed on black creators by the industry.” Yizzy
