Saffron 'Zine

from Saffron Records

Book/Magazine

The first edition of the Saffron ‘Zine shines a light on six Black industry professionals - Xana, TAAHLIAH, Leslie Gaston-Bird, Josette Joseph, Geaola Oluwakemi Adeyemi aka Princess Trium, and Zakia Sewell - documenting their perspectives, insights, and eclectic careers as DJs, producers, artists and sound engineers.

“To be featured in this ‘zine, encourages my hope that we can see there are those of us living and building the future, rather than just speculating. The ancestral cycles are being healed and the tormented question of ‘Can I do this too?’ will be shifted to ask ‘When will I start?’ - XANA

Saffron are distributing 3,500 free copies of the ‘zine to schools, colleges and community groups in the hope it will elevate Black role models and act as a resource for inspiration, offering guidance and encouragement to young Black people dreaming of a career in music tech. To request copies for your establishment, please email us, we would love to help: hello@saffronmusic.co.uk
