Personalities including Kano, Ray BLK and DJ Target are serving as ambassadors for the PRS Foundation's new Power Up campaign, aiming to tackle anti-Black racism in music by offering grants and industry-wide support to emerging Black talent and music professionals.

The initiative, set up in partnership with YouTube Music, Beggars Group and the Black Music Coalition, is led by the Power Up Executive Steering Committee, a collective of high-profile industry figures including manager Keith Harris, Sony Music's Taponeswa Mavunga, and Kobalt's Mulika Sannie. Ray BLK, winner of BBC's Sound of 2017, commented 'I’m delighted and so proud to be an Ambassador for Power Up and lend my support and voice for the initiative to help make the change the industry so desperately needs'.
