Ambassadors

Our Ambassadors championed 大象传媒 Music Day and its theme - celebrating the power of music to bring people together.

Jamie Cullum

"Having music in your life gives you a layer of confidence and curiosity that enables you to live a better life. 大象传媒 Music Day is important to me because I think we live in a more chaotic world than ever before and music is something that can genuinely bring us together, so a day to celebrate that is fantastic."

Ricky Wilson

"Some of us catalogue our life through music… and we all have a song we love and most of us have a song we love to hate! I'm supporting 大象传媒 Music Day because love it or loath it - music affects us all."

Rae Morris

"I'm truly honoured to be an Ambassador for 大象传媒 Music Day. The 大象传媒 have played a huge part in my journey so far. Without 大象传媒 Introducing and support from Radio 1, 2 and 6Music, I definitely wouldn't be in the very fortunate position I am in today. This feels like a great opportunity for me to thank the 大象传媒 for their support so far and also to celebrate their great work; providing us all with constant access to the things we love and opening doors to endless pathways of new musical knowledge!"

Ghostpoet

"I think it's really important that people can get involved in music in their communities, because it's a great way to meet people and learn about music be it as a listener or as a performer. Music is such a powerful force, it's one of the few things that will bring people together under a common theme."

Kanika Kapoor

“大象传媒 Music Day is something that brings us all together, something that unites people from different walks of life. Everybody gets to listen to different kinds of music from different cultures."

Anna Meredith

“大象传媒 Music Day is letting us celebrate the kind of music-making that we are all doing, not just orchestras and bands and famous musicians. It's showing what music does and the power and excitement of music-making.”

Sir Tom Jones

"I want to support 大象传媒 Music Day because it's the only broadcaster that brings to the world the whole spectrum of music—all genres, eras and styles. The support they also give to creators of new music is also key to a healthy scene, one that continues to grow and encourage musicianship of all kinds. The music that influenced and instructed me when I was young I heard almost entirely through the 大象传媒. I hope music fans everywhere will continue to embrace the rich musical resources of the 大象传媒."

Noah Stewart

"大象传媒 Music Day is so important to me because music unites us all and inspires us all. I think it is the number one universal language that we all can appreciate and share in."

Mark Ronson

“The support I have received from 大象传媒 DJs such as Zane Lowe, Annie Mac, Gilles Peterson and Benji B has been instrumental in my career and it’s also how I've discovered much of my favourite music. I'm proud to be asked to be an Ambassador for the first 大象传媒 Music Day.”

Seth Lakeman

“大象传媒 Music Day is important because it brings people together. I love music because I think it makes you feel like you're connecting with other people.”

Shlomo

"I am supporting 大象传媒 Music Day because since before I could talk, music has been a huge part of how I connect and communicate with the people around me, and it's astonishing the power music has to bring people together. I've been lucky enough to participate in some amazing musical projects, including jamming in the Arctic with the locals, creating multi-genre, multi-generational beatbox choirs, and using music to help some of the most ignored kids from deprived areas to express themselves."

Jaz Dhami

“大象传媒 Music Day is important because it is bringing people together and uniting people from different backgrounds. Music doesn't have a language, it's just an expression - and if you feel that expression you're onto a winner.”

Tim Rhys Evans

"Music has that universality which can speak to everyone regardless of race, age or sexuality. It is indiscriminate, and anything that is going to focus in on that and celebrate it in the way that 大象传媒 Music Day is going to do is just wonderful."

Lulu

“大象传媒 Music Day is important because it’s a chance for us all to get together – young and old – from every community across the UK - to celebrate what music means to us. Only the 大象传媒 could do this. I’m proud to be a 大象传媒 Music Day Ambassador.”

George Ezra

"The 大象传媒 have been there right from the start for me and everything that's happened to me over the past 2 years all started at 大象传媒 Introducing, so thanks to the 大象传媒 and wishing them all the very best for 大象传媒 Music Day!"

Pixie Lott

"I think it's really important to celebrate music and get everyone involved. You don't have to be the best singer or play in a band - everyone can relate to music. It's like a universal language that everyone feels something from and it's great to have a day to bring everyone together and enjoy music."

Charles Hazlewood

"Music is the most universal language we have, way more so than any dialect or tongue. And every person on the planet engages with music on a daily basis. The music industry in the UK is a world leader; it's highly appropriate then, that the 大象传媒 should devote a whole day to celebrating these absurdly musical isles."
