Welcome to CMC 2025!

​

We’ve come a long way since our first event back in 2020. The world has changed in huge ways – locally, globally, and personally – but one thing has stayed consistent: the power of music to connect, uplift and carry us through. For many of us, music isn’t just a dream or a career path. It’s therapy. It’s freedom. It’s how we make sense of everything going on around us.

​

This year, CMC is all about tapping into that power. Whether you're writing bars, producing beats, jumping on the mic, or just soaking in the vibe – this is your space to express, to grow, and to connect. We’re exploring how music supports wellbeing, gives us a voice, and opens up new futures – even when times are tough.

​

Expect powerful performances from Murkage, whose story from the streets to national success is as inspiring as his music, and MC Local, returning after shutting it down at CMC 2024. Don’t miss DJ AG, known for his electrifying, genre-bending live sets. ​You’ll also hear from guest speakers like Grammy Award-winner Amy Wadge, Elijah from Keep London Loud, and Osama Izevbigie from OTID, who’ll be sharing insights from their journeys in music, culture, and change-making.

With workshops, performances, real talk and networking, CMC 2025 is here to inspire. We’re so glad you’re with us – let’s make this one unforgettable.
