Hey there, let's dive into the fascinating tales of Adrian Mason! With his 50th birthday on the horizon and a journey that spans almost two decades in London, he's brimming with captivating anecdotes. A die-hard music lover, Adrian's passion for tunes is matched only by his commitment to fostering equal opportunities for all. Let's take a closer look at this legendary figure.
From Guernsey to the Big Smoke
Adrian's love for music has been a constant since his early years, but limited opportunities in Guernsey pushed him towards finance work. Moving to London at 16 felt like a fresh start, and he embraced the city with open arms.
A Melting Pot of Sounds
Music, for Adrian, is the universal language that unites people from all corners of the world. An advocate for diversity, equality, and inclusivity, Adrian firmly believes that each individual holds the reins to their own destiny. With sheer determination, hard work, and a well-executed action plan, you can achieve anything you set your mind to.
The Right Learning Path
When Adrian stumbled upon our school's Music Industry Diploma (now known as the Music Business short course), he knew it was his ticket to the music world. This course not only fueled his passion but also introduced him to one of his current artist collaborators, Thomas Irwin, who graduated with a BA (Hons) Music Production & DJ Performance from our institution.
The Birth of UniteVerse
Inspired by a panel talk at the International Music Summit in Ibiza, Adrian brought forth his vision for UniteVerse - an all-encompassing platform that revolves around the core values of diversity, equality, and inclusivity, safety, accessibility, neurodiversity, and mental health. This groundbreaking two-tier platform connects consumers, businesses, musicians, and brands through a user-friendly mobile app and powerful SaaS solution, driving innovation across the music industry.
Transforming the Entertainment Scene
The app empowers users to discover and engage with businesses in a personalized and meaningful way, providing real-time feedback to companies seeking to improve their services and ensure a safer, more accessible, and inclusive environment for all.
