Everyday People by Music Action International

An amazing new collaboration has taken shape during lockdown with young refugees taking centre stage to create a new form of music, pushing the boundaries of language, music genre and creative expression.

Everyday People EP will be released on 10 December 2021 - International Human Rights Day - and is essential listening right now.
Featuring guest artists Lowkey, Josephine Oniyama and Rioghnach Connolly, the EP has epic, uplifting tunes in-debted to modern dancehall inflected RnB styles, tough percussive dance tunes and mournful yet hopeful love songs about home, conquering your demons and overcoming any challenge.

The collaboration is an urgent energetic call for equality, rejecting judgement of difference, and embracing our diversity.

A unique team of many refugee support organisations join together to create a platform for young refugees. Initiated by multi-award winning organisation Music Action International who deliver creative and skill-sharing programmes with people in exile, in displaced communities, refugee camps and post conflict settings. These innovative music programmes improve mental health and well-being, bring communities together and speak out against human rights abuses.

Our amazing partners include: British Red Cross, Imperial War Museum, Compass Collective, Youth Music, Manchester Settlement, Refugee Youth, Counterpoints Arts, One Manchester, Sound Connections, North West Young People's Development, Arts Council England.
