Why are you interested in being a CREATE Programmer?
Hey, my name is Ashley Ajayi, I'm from Bow, and I’m all about music promotion and producing. I’m a hard working young promoter working for Community Music (CM) and to broaden my ability I’m coming back to the world of music technology as an apprentice for a sound engineer gathering all the years of experience around me to craft myself into the most precise and creatively perfected music engineer to come from Tower Hamlets. My work with CM is a gift of opportunity, I’ll give it simple.
I work on getting young bands into music events, as well as running the event, for me it’s a dream come true, and I’ve met both famous and important people on the way, and it’s just because I spoke up a few more times than other people would have. The thing about Tower Hamlets is that nothing is handed to you on a plate; you have to make your own talent, and make your own dreams. You have so much space. Some famous people have come out of our borough and they made their dreams a reality. As for the waiting talent Tower Hamlets? We’re just ordinary people doing our thing... doing it well.
