Naomi Peter's Pride Mix - Jazz FM Voices
Celebrating love and acceptance
Across 2021, we’re going to be commissioning a range of articles, opinion pieces, and mixes for our Jazz FM Voices platform. As part of Jazz FM Celebrates Pride, we reached out to curator, producer and innovator Naomi Peter.
London born. Ghanaian, Dominican, and British heritage… Naomi is an identical twin, is queer and proud. She is passionate about all things music, food, writing, reading, culture, good vibes, travel (with consciousness), and more music…
Focusing on love, acceptance, difference, and togetherness.
"The playlist I have created for Jazz FM voices in the month of Pride, is a stunning mix of sounds between soulful notes, spoken word, jazz and world music. Focusing on love, acceptance, difference, and togetherness. Music for me has always been an incredible tool to bring all kinds of minds and cultures together. Music for me... has to be one of the most powerful expressions of love."
