Jermain Jackman has performed on countless stages but today he's back home on the stage at Hackney Empire, which he first set foot on at the tender age of four! He stresses how vital it is to raise aspirations of the youth who have been neglected due to lack of opportunities and loss of the community spaces that encourage creativity and belonging.
Born and raised in Hackney, having grown up in one of London’s toughest boroughs and crowned the winner of BBC’s The Voice UK in 2014, Jermain is much more than an incredible singer blessed with a beautiful baritone; he is a political activist who balances this with his musical aspirations to use his talents as a tool for social change.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
