During a panel discussion in celebration of International Women’s Month, Tiffany Calver encouraged aspiring music industry creatives to embrace failure. The UK rap trailblazer spoke alongside Sondr, Bossy LDN founder Izzy Bossy, and Girls Can’t Sync’s Hannah Lynch at BeauBeaus in East London as part of Calver’s Tiffany Calver & Friends series. Calver advised the audience that failures were valuable learning experiences and spoke about the many ways she had failed in her own career.
