Singer-songwriter Ray BLK sits down with Eve to reflect on the lessons she’s learnt whilst building up her career. After being named as the winner of BBC Sound of 2017, Ray shares the gratitude and pride she felt being recognised within the music industry. Identifying that her accomplishments have been achieved as a result of her hard work and being open to opportunities, Ray and Eve discuss what these experiences have taught her. The singer-songwriter has been open in sharing how colourism in the music industry has affected her on a personal level. As a key factor in the anxiety she experiences before performing, Ray delves into how mindfulness techniques have been influential to her stage preparation.
