Top 10 Selling Irish Drill Artist Sello joins Rio Ferdinand Foundation as new Ambassador
Rio Ferdinand Foundation today announced that Sello has joined the Foundation as a music ambassador in Ireland and beyond, in a move that will see the Irish artist share his journey and insights into the music industry to inspire future generations.
A talented artist Sello has an unsurmountable community spirit with a true passion for inspiring and influencing young people in Ireland to reach their maximum potential.
Sello will be welcomed as Music Ambassador for the Rio Ferdinand Foundation during a panel-based launch event with industry insiders at Warner Music Ireland Offices on Thursday, 9th November. Dublin’s first ‘Into the Industry’ event will offer insight and networking opportunities in A&R, marketing and events, broadcast, and media to thirty young people interested in careers in the music industry.
Joining Sello on Thursday’s panel are Warner Music Senior Vice President Priscilla Kotey and music producer Simba Bianchi. Further panellists include Dylan Murphy, District Magazine, Claire Beck, Bauer Media, Patrick Trautt, MCD, Nathan Sauramba, Waverton Corp, Eric Davidson, The Tenth Man and radio producer Beta Da Silva, RTÉ2FM
Thursday’s ‘Into the Industry’ event follows the success of the Belfast ‘Into the Industry’ careers showcase early this year in June, when Sello joined a line-up of industry insiders. The event, attended by over 75 young people aged 14-16, celebrated youth culture and signalled a new phase of partnership work in Northern Ireland to empower equality and create opportunities for young people.
Sello's ambassador role will be delivering workshops, meeting young people, and attending events as part of the Rio Ferdinand Foundation’s and Warner Music UK and Ireland's commitment to engaging young people from diverse backgrounds in understanding and building careers and social mobility in all work areas.
