Sweetpea
Over a decade in, Sweetpea continues to be on a path of growth in Drum and Bass. Cutting her teeth and breaking through with a 6 year residency on legendary London Pirate Radio Station - Rude FM, her hosting skills are always informative about the history and current affairs in the scene. One of her proudest moments came in 2021, being the host of the BBC Radio 1 Drum and Bass Show for 2 years in a row at Christmas. Sweetpea now hosts a bi-weekly residency on the new KoolFM, after being handpicked to join the fresh roster in 2023, headed up by RINSE.
Sweetpea is one of the founding members of EQ50, a collective of women addressing inequality and representation in dance music. Formed in 2018, the collective hosts a string of networking events, festival stage takeovers as well as, in 2020, launching the first ever Drum & Bass mentorship programme for women and non-binary people. Successfully into its 2nd year, the mentorship is home to the likes of Nia Archives and Mandidextrous.
Sweetpea produced and released her first track in 2016. It wasn't until 2018 with her solo track 'Closer' on Hospital Record's sister label, Med School, that Sweetpea planted herself firmly on the map as a serious solo producer. In 2021, Sweetpea released her debut solo EP "Undercover'' on Spearhead and has since then been racking up notable releases. With tracks gaining DJ Mag Premiers,Drum and Bass Arena exclusives, Radio 1 Plays and Staff Picks on Beatport, her current work with Sofa Sound including her collab EP with Iris- Fresh Cutz and her solo work on the Sofa King Sick VA has seen her best work to date.
Already having a background in teaching, Sweetpea also spends her time educating future artists as a DJ and Producer tutor. With works including creating modules for Guildhall University, she regularly holds workshops for World renowned company Pioneer.
