Semtex, a former Music Week cover star, is a founding member of the UK Social Justice Fund and will provide mentorship, industry insight and advocacy to young people at Legacy Youth Zone.
"The Legacy Youth Zone is an amazing home to Croydon's emerging artist community,” said Semtex. “It is truly inspiring to see the next generation of lyricists, songwriters, and producers working together to create genre-defining music. It is important that we give these young creatives the necessary support, guidance, and direction that they deserve. All of these artists have the potential to be the next Dave, Raye, or Olivia Dean, British artists who have an immense global impact."
