Welcome to the first episode of our new podcast Vanguard Voices from Hannah Horton in collaboration with J Steps, celebrating emerging jazz talent and the voices of young women in music and media. Featuring honest conversations, shared experiences, and inspiring stories, the podcast is all about finding your voice and stepping into your own creative identity.In this first episode J Steps talk to Hannah Horton!J steps linksHannah Horton linksGrowing up, Hannah Horton faced challenges as a young saxophonist. As a girl in a predominantly male jazz environment, she often struggled to find a safe space where she could express herself without judgment. This lack of support led her to stop playing jazz for years, feeling disconnected from the music she loved.Determined not to let other female and non-binary jazz musicians experience the same isolation, Hannah created J Steps. This community is a safe haven where every member is encouraged to embrace their individuality and passion for jazz. The "It's okay to be you" tagline embodies this ethos,reminding everyone that they are valued and accepted for who they are. At J Steps, it's not just about the music—it's about creating a nurturing environment where everyone can grow, explore, and thrive.
