Yasmin on the Reality of a Major Label, swapping London for Mexico and Women in the Music Industry

It's our first live episode! This episode comes to you from Gilles Peterson's, We Out Here festival in the UK, where Emily caught up with DJ Yasmin.


Yasmin is a DJ, singer/songwriter and the co-founder of Trippin, an online travel guide powered by a global community. Yasmin has worked with everyone from Major Lazer to Gordon City and Pharrell.


In this episode Yasmin talks to Emily about the reality of being “a product” of major labels, why she swapped London for Mexico City and the importance of having more women in the music industry at all levels. There were also some great questions from our live audience.
