CanaryPod: Topple Uncaged meets… Zia Benjamin

THIS PODCAST CONTAINS LANGUAGE AND CONTENT SOME PEOPLE MAY FIND OFFENSIVE. THE VIEWS EXPRESSED IN THIS EPISODE ARE THE OPINIONS OF THE HOST AND GUESTS.

Welcome to series two of #ToppleUncaged!

Every week, The Canary will be bringing you a new podcast on the media landscape; hosted by me, Steve Topple.

In a special episode, I meet a sublime singer, songwriter from Jamaica. Zia Benjamin first blew onto the music scene on the Sean Paul hit Standing There. Since then, after taking a hiatus to return to journalism, she’s back with a bang. So, I caught up with her to talk about her diverse musical sound, her influences, the music industry more broadly and the growing movement of female artists coming out of Jamaica.

Enjoy!
