1st – 5th November is Trustees Week and an opportunity to celebrate the vital work that our trustees do at the Rhythm Studio Foundation. Today, we meet Fran Martin.

Fran is one of our new trustees. He started his career producing stages at festivals before taking this knowledge and applying it to the world of brands. He is currently the head of live at creative marketing agency FRUKT where he helps global brands harness the power of music by delivering events all over Europe and beyond. He has seen first-hand how creative experiences can entertain, make lasting impressions and help young people realise their potential.

What are you listening to at the moment?

I love love love Little Simz latest album "Sometimes I Might Be Introvert"; I've had that in my headphones a lot recently. She's such a talent, everything she touches is high quality.

What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to?

It's so difficult to put one down but I've seen The xx live three times (once just before their first album came out, and then again after their second, and the last time was at Brixton Academy as part of the Night + Day festival they curated a few years back) - each show was completely different but equally mesmerising.
