Making Waves: Transforming lives through music

In this episode of Experts by Experience, Nic speaks with Katie and Tom from Finding Rhythms about how music is transforming lives in prisons and the community.

Since 2013, Finding Rhythms has delivered collaborative music projects across 30 prisons, supporting over 1,000 participants to create original music, gain qualifications, and build confidence. They share powerful stories of how music provides a safe, non-judgemental space for self-expression, helping people rebuild their identity and navigate life after release.

The episode also highlights Making Waves, their 10-week community programme in Peckham, where participants produce tracks, work towards a qualification, perform live, and access ongoing mentoring.

A moving conversation about creativity, second chances, and the power of music to spark lasting change.
