Keen to promote positive environmental change within the electronic music industry and beyond, I:
Am an official advisor for Climate Live (founded by Fridays For Future members) alongside Bob Ezrin, Rob Da Bank, Stephen Godfroy.
Attended COP26 in Glasgow, assisting onsite at The New York Times’ Climate Hub.
Am also a founding member of Bye Bye Plastic, founded by Vivie-Ann Bakos AKA BLOND:ISH to banish single-use plastic from music industry festivals and venues by 2025, via campaigns such as #PlasticFreeParty.
Speak on eco-themed panels such as at ADE Green.
Am a trained marine mammal paramedic for BDMLR, involved in rescuing baby seals.
I’m a keen snorkeler / surfer / swimmer and spotter of marine wildlife both in my native North East England’s bracing seas and in the Pacific and Indian Oceans and other far-flung waters. Other social issue-related interests include: mentoring for the She Said So ‘she.grows’ program; being a regular volunteer at St Oswald’s Hospice; and during my degree in English Language at Newcastle University, working as an intern at Freedom From Torture, organising major fund raising events.
Lydia Laws talks about environmental change within the electronic music industry, the key characteristics that every great publicist needs, finding the balance between a career and personal life, how DJs get magazine covers and more.
In this podcast series, I chat with creative, inspiring people who follow their passions, whether it is saving the planet or its creatures, creating and sharing music or art, writing, or making their own business dream come true.
Meet DJs, authors, sports figures, scientists, eco warriors, successful businesspeople, and find out how, and why, they do what they do.
In Series 1 join me to meet people like; a seal- and whale-life saving paramedic; a chart-topping crime writer with Lee Child for a fan; a young entrepreneur who built a massive sports editorial empire from scratch; a publicist to the world’s leading electronic music artists who started as an obsessed raver in the trenches of the Australian music industry; a marine biologist whose passion has taken her to Mozambique, the Maldives, the Middle East and more.
