Event overview
'Am I Context or am I George? Combining Music and Academia'
This talk will be given by artist Context (George Musgrave), who is both a rapper signed to Sony/EMI, but also a Senior Lecturer with a PhD in Politics. The talk will see George engaging with the question of how a musical and creative life can feed an academic one, and crucially, vice versa. Based on his experiences both as an artist (signed and unsigned), and being at University (as a student and a lecturer) this talk will offer advice to students on how to manage the conflicting demands a dual life can engender, whilst suggesting that having experiences from a range of fields can be hugely beneficial; whether it's music helping you get an academic job, or using your time at University to help you make music.

Attendance is strongly recommended for all postgraduate students (MA, MMus and PGR) in Music but of course undergraduates, music researchers, and visitors from across the college and the community are also most welcome to these public lectures.
