Celebrating the STEP Private Client Awards with ZEDRA!

We believe music is a universal form of communication, bridging cultural, political, economic and linguistic barriers.
ZEDRA sponsors the World Heart Beat Jazz Development Programme for eight talented young musicians in London. Many of the musicians live in challenging circumstances and need practical support to help them to reach their full musical potential.
Through the ZEDRA Jazz Development Programme, we’re able to play a part in providing young musicians with specialist tuition, the possibility to attend dedicated masterclasses, play in regular ensemble sessions, and perform in a wide variety of venues that may not otherwise have been a possibility.
The World Heart Beat Music Academy aims to bring the world’s cultures together through music. The Academy sees music as a universal form of communication to bridge cultural, political, economic and linguistic barriers.

About Ava Joseph
Ava made her debut performance on the BBC at just 14, and was featured singing music from Gershwin’s ‘Porgy and Bess’ on Radio 3 at 15, showing how authentic and soulful she is singing great timeless standard songs – nine years later, and as a graduate of the famed BRIT school, she’s just as passionate when singing contemporary pop.
Ava is part of a group of gifted musicians that attend both the Julian Joseph Jazz Academy and World Heart Beat Music Academy where, along with her gigs, she’s nurtured and encouraged to hone her craft to the highest level.
Ava and her brilliant band, The SoundCrew, include Ayo Vincent on keys, Jason Ansare on guitar, Ezekiel Ajie on bass and Wilf Cameron-Marples on drums. They are currently in the studio, working toward the release of Ava’s debut recording.
