In GBA 323 we get better acquainted with Carys. She talks about music: her first memories and musical influences, her dads cassette tapes and guitar playing, studying music history and theory at Oxford, DJing dance music, managing a youth orchestra and supporting music in education work. We also cover loving/working in the arts more generally, navigating sexism and racism, how making big choices about education at a young age can backfire and renouncing Buddhism.\n\nCarys plugs:\n\nMattana: https://www.facebook.com/carysmattana/\nCarys Mattana: https://soundcloud.com/carysmattana\nSisu - DJ Collective: https://www.facebook.com/sisuldn/\n\nI plug:\n\nCameryn Moore: http://www.camerynmoore.com\nhttps://www.facebook.com/camerynmoore\nSmut Slam: http://www.camerynmoore.com/smut-slam/\nSmut Slam Berlin: https://www.facebook.com/SmutSlamBerlin/\nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/1627534160673728/\n\nWhat About the Men?
