Tomorrow's Warriors

Pioneering talent development organisation and charity Tomorrow’s Warriors commissions and records music composed and performed by multiple generations of high-profile alumni who have come through its acclaimed £Free talent development programme. A black-founded and black-led organisation, Tomorrow’s Warriors offers a pioneering, comprehensive teaching and training programme; particularly championing young black and female talent and those who come from challenging circumstances.

With the vision of creating collaborations that cross over generations of musicians and capture the essence of Tomorrow’s Warriors ethos ‘Each One, Teach One’, the music is released on the organisation's own The Sound Of Tomorrow's Warriors label in celebration of three illustrious decades, but also to help fundraise and sustain TW's acclaimed £Free talent development programme. 

The Warriors alumni are a ‘who’s who’ of the hottest names in UK jazz and include <a href="spotify:artist:2KwROtmoJfRcQHqDMiV6uo" data-name="Zara McFarlane">Zara McFarlane</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:36J979CZNAI4GsrElYFUOC" data-name="CHERISE">CHERISE</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6gIw9VQPs8SI1XRYhSwYWH" data-name="Camilla George">Camilla George</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3ibe0QPyXamL3St3VBBxJT" data-name="Cassie Kinoshi">Cassie Kinoshi</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:678wBD44dXIQF7mVxnCRVk" data-name="Denys Baptiste">Denys Baptiste</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:32u6pA3PJbQBvTg4eZDHPo" data-name="Nathaniel Facey">Nathaniel Facey</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6213qnwAKa0wEJBVXxfOdC" data-name="Sheila Maurice-Grey">Sheila Maurice-Grey</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6Z37ofcWV3ZDEMbevEtoSk" data-name="Soweto Kinch">Soweto Kinch</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:2hk65UpBmplNbPOayzIJqP" data-name="Mark Kavuma">Mark Kavuma</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5XhOg4JXERUGJbf6DQTPdT" data-name="Rosie Turton">Rosie Turton</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3WHk8tdSPkDFn9nSSk6qP1" data-name="Mark Crown">Mark Crown</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6gZvLySqpEZVwUD2Ij0Ded" data-name="Shirley Tetteh">Shirley Tetteh</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4KsyZ3QN1E5E1yhJWZANHb" data-name="Ben Burrell">Ben Burrell</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:7LO9JgJitsPExiZcDyVzm1" data-name="Binker Golding">Binker Golding</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6tMNYs4FUODZU9AzKPlVNm" data-name="Peter Edwards">Peter Edwards</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:2C8JLkxN7evbT2t08IIV9V" data-name="Femi Koleoso">Femi Koleoso</a>.
