Careers at Abram Wilson

Inspired by the critically acclaimed and award-winning musician Abram Wilson, we provide visibility, access and opportunity within an industry which is often closed to all but the most privileged.

Recently, we were thrilled to work with FM Breakthrough Act of the year drummer Jas Kayser and award-winning jazz promoters Church of Sound to deliver a two-month music education programme with talented young people from Mossbourne Community Academy in Hackney, London. Most of the students were selected by Mossbourne Community Academy’s Head of Music as having musical promise but facing barriers to accessing music outside of school.

  • 600

    πŸ“£ Mission & Purpose
    Abram Wilson inspires, connects and opens doors to the music industry so that underrepresented young talent has an equal chance to realise their creative potential.

    πŸ– Flexibility
    Our hours are super flexible so team members can organise their days in a way that suits them.

    πŸ‘­ Inclusivity
    In 2021 our workforce consisted of 70% women and 35% BAME. Out of our core team of eight, 75% are part-time working mums.

    Overall

    I love my job, I love my team, I love the work we do and the young people and musicians we support. Everyone is so supportive and committed and for a small organisation we've been able to achieve great things because of this. It's been an incredible ten years and I feel really privileged to have had a chance to build something that involves so many amazing and inspiring people.

    πŸ– Flexibility
