I've always been a person wanting to operate outside of the box and driven by the desire to make a difference. When I finished Law School, I started to explore how I could merge my academic training with my passion, which is music and turn it into a business, through that process of exploration young music boss was born. 

Many of the people surrounding me are creatives or entrepreneurs in the music industry and often come to me for guidance on the legal aspects of the business, which encouraged me to establish the consultancy element of YMB. 

Through the company, I also wanted to create more diverse visibility for the young people who are shaping the music business, but are often overlooked because they don't operate in traditional roles within the industry, which is why I established the YMB Awards (taking place April next year) and our quarterly Meritocracy dinner series which we do in partnership with UK Music and the MMF.  

I think the greatest lesson I have learned through running YMB is mistakes are valuable, failure is great because these are the things that shape you, they create the moments that force you to do better. 

If I had to give advice to anyone wanting to start their own business I would say 'just jump', you can spend the rest of your life assessing risk, thinking the time is not right but the reality is you need courage and the audacity to believe in your capacity to be great.
