We’ve been following Rory Graham, aka Rag’n’Bone Man, on a project that’s deeply personal to him.

Despite being one of the busiest people alive, the global superstar is also the patron of young people’s music charity, AudioActive. Together, they’re dedicated to helping young people break into the music industry and making access to music easier for all

Having eschewed traditional schooling, the British singer cut his teeth as part of his local urban music community and we filmed him as he went back to his roots to discover how up-and-coming artists are helping to inspire positive social change through music.

Below, watch Paying It Forward, a documentary showing how AudioActive is paving the way for a new generation to find their voice.

Also, watch the the short film, Room To Rant, to find out how AudioActive is giving young men the chance to get things off their chest with spoken word and rap in partnership with mental health charity, ManKind.

Creativity is really important, but I think it gets overlooked a lot for young people these days.
