Where British Music Begins: Inside the Community That Shaped Ezra Collective’s Femi Koleoso
VICE and Popeyes linked up with Femi Koleoso - drummer, bandleader, and the beating heart of Ezra Collective - back where it all began: Enfield, North London. From local youth clubs to global stages, Femi takes us through the spots that shaped him and the band’s rise to Mercury Prize glory, their first BRIT Award, and the ultimate milestone - taking to the stage at Glastonbury.
But this isn’t just a nostalgia trip. At Jubilee Youth Club, Femi shows us how he’s paying it forward, championing the same community spaces that sparked his journey. With help from Popeyes - who are committed to empowering young people and supporting talent across the UK - it’s a love letter to youth clubs and a rallying cry to keep them alive.
