Yesterday, we were lucky enough to welcome Femi Koleoso to EGS for an inspirational talk with our Music Scholars. Femi is an ex-Grammar boy, and Mercury Prize winning member of Ezra Collective, who recently became the first jazz group to sell out Wembley Arena and really wowed the crowds at Glastonbury last year.
He gave the boys an invaluable insight to getting on in the music industry and encouraged them to aim high and work hard because anything is achievable. He asked about their dreams and aspirations and answered questions on what it felt like to play Wembley and Glastonbury. He even had a little time to reminisce on Art lessons with Mr Chrysanthou and Maths with Mr Kodjoe, and of course his beloved music lessons!
Drummer Femi formed Ezra Collective along with his brother, bass guitarist TJ (also an ex-Grammar boy), and has played with Gorillaz and Jorja Smith, toured the world and written and released several highly acclaimed albums.
Thank you so much to him for taking the time to come back to his old stomping ground and motivate our talented young musicians!
