The Midi Music Company (MMC) celebrates 30 years with investment from Sony Music UK's Social Justice Fund

The Midi Music Company (MMC) celebrates three decades of music, empowerment and impact, with investment from Sony Music UK's Social Justice Fund.

Over the past three decades, MMC has made a profound impact by providing access to music education, supporting emerging artists and using music as a tool for positive transformation.

MMC has advised, supported and assisted the likes of Yussef Dayes, Steam Down, Kae Tempest, Shingai, Rebekah Reid, Chainska Brassika, and many others to international acclaim.

The Sony Music Social Justice Fund (SJF) was founded in 2020, to address injustice and racism. The SJF team at Sony Music UK have focused on how to support anti-racist initiatives and educational opportunities for under-served communities in Britain, addressing structural inequality for lasting change.

MMC has achieved so much over the past 30 years, and they are looking forward to their bright future in partnership with Sony Music UK's Social Justice Fund, as both entities remain committed to its core values of anti-racism and tackling injustices. Support will come in the form of financial assistance, designed to fund MMC's music education programme. As well as, upgrading MMC's studio, and the launch of a new podcast programme, by and for young people, broadcast on Radio Lewisham, in partnership with the Lewisham Young Mayor's Team.

In celebration of its 30^th anniversary, MMC reflect on how proud they are of the incredible children and young people who have been instrumental in its journey. MMC will continue to empower the next generation of young musicians and creators through their programmes and projects. This significant milestone would not have been possible without the dedication and passion of those who believe in the power of music to transform lives. More announcements to follow regarding MMC's 30^th anniversary celebrations.
