Yesha (Ayesha Williams)

Recently I have begun running non profit open mic nights, called ‘Speak Up’ for young people, donating all proceeds to different causes for each open mic. Speak Up was born through the belief that we have the ability to change issues in the world for the better when we ‘Speak Up’, take action together are. I like to tackle challenges with a certainty that it I will over come them, though it may not be easy. When starting the open mics I had no experience in putting on events, however my determination led me to utilise my creativity.
For me, pushing my practice forward means constant education and dedication to my craft with a tenacity that carries me through doubt and distraction. I am developing and working out exactly what is the end goal in terms of my career, yet every day I never lose sight of the vision that I have with music, social impact and healing others through sound.

We are delighted to support Ayesha Williams for the Emerging Innovators 2026.
