Full Profile +Young Researcher Case Study - Scarlett
“My name is Scarlett and I am a London based musician (keys and backing vocals). I was asked to make a short clip by Sound Connections documenting my journey regarding this year thus far. I am working with Sound Connections in collaboration with Kinetika Bloco and have been for the last few months. I am not a professional film editor by any means, but I thought it would be a better way to scratch the surface on my year as I am more of a visual person. It documents the beginnings of my journey, and I hint at some of the things I’ve been up to and hope to achieve. I hope you enjoy it.”
