Music Projects!

Over the past four years we have run numerous music projects at Recharge, the reason being music is such a good way to inspire and involve the young people we support. More recently we have run two music projects with a local award-winning Hip-Hop artist Trademark Blud, Trademark is well known on the Hip Hop scene and from Telford, he understands the issues that young people are faced with and uses his skills and knowledge to run workshops for us.

Last year Trademark ran 10 music workshops for Recharge with a group of young people to write and record their very own music track, this was in conjunction with Telford hosting the acclaimed Knife Angel. The theme for the workshops was Anti Knife Crime and the effects of Knife Crime on our young people’s lives. They wrote and recorded a track called ‘End Up Like This’ which can be found on our YouTube channel here is the direct link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYF-ennJy74  The video was played to an audience at Alberts Shed at the launch of The Knife Angel’s arrival to Southwater Square February last year 2020 and was also used as part of the ongoing danger of knife crime awareness and played to hundreds of local school children. Trademark has a passion and dedication to music and working with vulnerable groups to give them a platform to express their creativity, our group members got so much from being part of these workshops and we shall definitely be hosting more of these in the future.
