It’s perfect for me to collaborate with people from different cultures that sing music that resonate with the world. “The last collab I did with an international artiste was with Burna Boy, and he does the kind of music I like …. “Anybody that is talented that I like, of course I’d work with them, and he is one of them,” he said. With Sheeran recently linking up with Ishawna after expressing his love for her Equal Rights smash (rested on a remake of the Shape of You instrumental), Serani could also see himself working with the singer. Serani joined in on the singalong by posting a collage video as he cruised in a convertible. It’s amazing to be loved and adored by super-talented people, especially a man like him.” So it kinda makes sense for me to like his music, and for him to like my music, because there are similarities there. “Some of the styles that he likes to use are very similar to the styles I love to use, not even his singing, more like the kind of beats and songs he makes. “I’ve been a fan and I love his music,” Serani told The Gleaner. The moment was captured when the English singer was at a Birmingham pub playing pool on Sunday night, surrounded by several folks who also sang and danced to Serani’s hit. “With the Own Our Venues project gathering steam, we are incredibly pleased to get Ed’s support for this initiative – he knows this sector incredibly well and understands how important it is.If Ed Sheeran’s affinity for Jamaican music was uncertain before, a viral video of him belting the lyrics to Serani’s 2008 classic, No Games, settles things. This is campaign that is really resonating with music fans who understand exactly how important it is to keep access to live music in our communities, our towns and cities right across the UK. Mark Davyd, CEO and founder of MVT, said: “We are blown away by the support already for Own Our Venues. We’ve got to do all we can to protect these beautiful venues that we’ve all come to love for years to come.” He added: “Own Our Venues is an initiative I’m really passionate about getting behind. Mr Sheeran said these venues are “so important to the music community”, adding that he has played some of his favourite gigs to date in such rooms. Given the backdrop of recent national and political events in the UK, including the resignation of the Prime Minister, the formation of a new government, the passing of the Queen and the cost of living and energy crisis, which has required MVT’s resources be re-focused in other areas, a decision has been taken to extend the initial fundraising phase of the campaign until 31 December 2022. Since June, hundreds of individuals and companies have already pledged their support either through direct investment in the project via a new investment platform with ethical investment specialists Ethex, or via its dedicated Crowdfunder campaign. MVT aims to complete the purchase of the first nine music venues under this new model by the end of the year. On completion of purchase, the venues will be offered an immediate rent reduction and help with building repairs and insurance, with long-term security and market resistant rents also being guaranteed. Organisers are looking to raise £3.5 million in initial investments to acquire nine venues across the country, with these initial venues being chosen for a pilot scheme that will allow the campaign group to establish proof of concept.įurther venue freeholds will then be identified and secured as and when they become available.
