Welcome back! This week we have three very special guests: 


Coda Nicolaeff - an artist, composer, and vocalist, whose work explores intersectional identity and collective solidarity. Coda is also a culture strategist driving change across major institutions.


Ilā Kamalagharan, ILĀ is an artist, producer, and vocalist, whose practice integrates quantum and AI hybrid techniques. Ilā is also the co-founder and director of London Contemporary Voices.


Coda and Ilā are co-founders of TRANS VOICES, the UK’s first professional trans choir. 


Shelly Poole, an award winning composer and songwriter who has worked with talents as diverse as Janet Jackson to Massive Attack. Shelly has also composed and produced scores and bespoke music for major brands and for film TV including Sundance winner My Old School - By Jono Mcleod which saw Shelly Spotlighted as one of ASCAPs female composers of the year.


Together with hosts Sian Rogers (SIREN Music Supervision) and Jenna Fentimen (AWFC Board Manners Mcdade) they discuss their careers and journeys through the industry, how they have definite themselves in their various roles throughout their careers so far, the important of community and share their advice for people coming into the industry. 


Plus, why community and building your own tribe is crucial; the joy and power of communal singing; and an insight into AI & Quantum technology, how AI and music can coexist without sacrificing artistic integrity, and why musicians need to be in the forefront of the AI conversation.
