As a music lover I have always been interested in listening to new artists and encouraging friends to listen to them too. I especially love the BBC Radio 1 Introducing Stage at Leeds Festival where I have expanded my interests in different types of music and would love to encourage future artists to take the opportunity to get themselves heard.
Since listening to music I have always found UKF as a great place to find new artists and discover some amazing music. There are many great artists out there and many have come by working their way up through the music scene. UKF are a huge name in music and an amazing opportunity has come up for those interested in getting their music out there.
