"Since I knew what music was, I’ve loved grime and UK rap and neo-soul, to the point of obsession, and to bring to BBC One and iPlayer in the U.K. and Netflix globally a series that gives these genres of music life and texture is my dream, as is working with some of the best producers and songwriters making music today to create original tracks for the show."
The show has a top-notch cast, including stars such as Top Boy’s Malcolm Kamulete, Sherwood’s Nadine Marshall and Doctor Who’s Jo Martin.
