Maryam Jameela

Maryam is SAA-uk's Music Development Officer, as well as a multidisciplinary creative based in Leeds. As Music Development Officer, she is responsible for ensuring that SAA-uk's Music Academy is a fully functional, independent, commercialised arm of the organisation. This includes coordinating the safe delivery of activities, developing and maintaining strong relationships with students and their parents/guardians, whilst also increasing participation and engagement within music classes.

Maryam firmly believes in the importance of the arts as a way of grounding and expressing one's identity, as well as uniting people in shared experience, joy, and communion. Her lifelong love of music led her to teach herself how to DJ in the summer of 2017. Since then, her talent, passion, and unique style have seen her become a sought-after name in the Leeds music scene and nationally. Notable highlights include: playing at Boomtown festival in 2022 with Daytimers, a collective formed to bring together and empower a new generation of South Asian creatives, and becoming a resident DJ for Watch the Drop, a club night that highlights South Asian talent in electronic music.

In addition to performing, Maryam has volunteered at the DJ School in Leeds in 2019 and led skills workshops for Super Friendz in 2022.

Maryam's other creative passions include visual art such as collage, photography, and film.
