Jodi M Burn

On Repeat: The Music Podcast

Hey folks. It’s Wednesday, so you know what that means? Colour Me Wednesday - we wear pink! Oh, and there’s one more thing we do on Wednesdays... we drop another episode of On Repeat.

This week we're speaking to Jodi M Burn (they/them pronouns), who is a UK based musician, educator and event organiser which a keen eye on representation and breaking down barriers.

As a musician they have played drums and bass on studio recordings with bands such as Colour Me Wednesday, Personal Best and BYENAR. They've also travelled the world playing internatonal tours in Japan, Indonesia and Europe and at festivals such as Kendal Calling and Madrid Popfest, plus have supported the likes of Propagandhi, Lemuria and Juliana Hatfield. Phew!

As an educator they have taught music privately and run group music workshops for beginners for 5 years - in quarantine they were doing zoom drum lessons! They have also volunteered as an LGBTQ+ youth worker, and worked alongside Trans-led charity Gendered Intelligence, and worked with The Proud Trust, the home of LGBT+ youth (plus other identities such as asexual, intersex and questioning).

As an organiser they have co-run First Timers Fest, organised DIY shows in London and Brighton and co-ran Synth Punk Fest at DIY Space for London for 3 years. Jodi started with Girls Rock London as a volunteer Drum Tutor and Band Coach in the 2018 and 2019 camps and has since joined the organising team to focus on programme delivery, international collaboration and trans inclusivity.

Recent musical releases played on by Jodi include the self titled debut EP by hardcore trans duo Byenary and the single 'Nannas on a Rampage' by glam-drag band Thigh High.

In this episode discuss Jodi's portfolio music career with reference to DIY pop punk and some food for thought regarding music lesson privilege. This podcast also comes with a party bag treat - a trans artist playlist compiled by Jodi themselves. You can find this gem in the show notes below.
