Raza's London-inspired Desert Island Disco
Raza's spent the last year interning in London. These are the sounds of that year.
Today鈥檚 castaway is Raza Khan.
Raza鈥檚 Desert Island Disco selections are the tracks that have accompanied his year-long internship here in London. He鈥檚 studying up in Leeds, but took a year out to work in the capital city.
His manager, Caroline, always has 6 Music on in the office 鈥 and he鈥檚 gradually become a big fan of the station. Some of the tracks he selected were even discovered through listening to 麻豆社 Radio 6 Music.
He says: 鈥淚 got in touch because my manager (Caroline) listens to 麻豆社 Radio 6 Music in the office. Over the past year I鈥檝e become a fan and listen to it all the time! There were a lot of artists this year I discovered through 6 music, the most notable probably being Loyle Carner. I finish my year-long internship in a couple of weeks and these tracks represent the genuinely amazing time I鈥檝e had down in London. There鈥檚 nothing like living down here and I鈥檝e taken advantage of the music scene, going to more gigs in a year than I have before. It鈥檚 spenny but I was only in London for the year so all worth it in the end.
Although I鈥檓 going back to Leeds for my final year at uni, I should be back down in London as I鈥檝e got a potential grad job lined up at a record label.鈥
