Tiny CD Artists Tiny CD T4Tunes is a one-person labour of love organising shows and tape distribution for the trans+ community. When live events started happening again "after the pandemic," and I was desperate to go to gigs again, much more disabled and slightly more trans than I was in 2019, I found myself in live music spaces feeling alienated. I did some work for other promoters but the venues were not physically accessible, the artists were not being treated fairly, the lineups weren't reflecting my personal taste in music and weren't as diverse as they could be so I wanted to create intentional music spaces that myself and my peers could be an active part of.

I didn't want to make money from shows and I began referring to shows as fundraisers, which later evolved into calling them non-profit / not-for-profit. Paying venue hire, photographers, ensuring musicians are paid and tickets are fairly priced is a lot to juggle, and I don't want to make promises I can't uphold by using the word 'fundraiser'. I will continue to take a minimal cut of ticket sales, endeavour to pay everyone involved in shows at union rate and pass on what I can to trans community members who need mutual aid. As of April 2026, around 1120GBP and 1000CAD have been donated from gigs.

For T4Tunes, I aim to book as many trans/GNC people as possible on every lineup. I seek projects where at least one member is trans/GNC, often transfeminine. I want more trans people on stage and I want them on lineups that make sense where they're not being tokenised for the sake of it. I also want more trans people in behind the scenes roles and will prioritise working with trans people for graphic design, sound, photography, tour driving and merchandise.
I am trans, autistic, a lesbian, physically disabled, working class and proud of all of those things. Every venue I use will be step-free, and I will consider sensory accessibility (lighting, smoke, having quiet spaces etc) as much as possible. I want to make my gigs a safe space for everyone and will remain open to feedback wherever I may have missed the mark.

It is important to me that, as well as hearing music they love and being around their peers, those who come to my shows can access support that they may be too anxious to seek out or not know where to look. I will regularly have trans mutual aid groups table at my gigs to distribute resources such as information about accessing HRT outside of the hostile NHS/private healthcare system, radar keys to access disabled/gender neutral bathrooms and information about our legal rights as trans people.

I can assist with show booking and tape distribution in the UK, Ireland and Canada. Please email me at t4tunes23@gmail.com with an example of your music if you're interested in working together.
I especially welcome being sent music from people who are further marginalised within the trans community including trans women/trans fems, POC, working-class trans people and Disabled/neurodivergent trans people. Please don't take it personally if I don't reply to your message, I'm working within my constraints as someone living with multiple disabilities and I can also be picky for no reason about music.
My favourite genres are alternative/experimental pop, noise, emo, hardcore, alternative hip-hop, jazz and math rock.

Outside of T4Tunes, I'm a trustee for AMP, a youth music development charity and I work in accessibility roles for festivals and one to one with Disabled creatives in PA roles. I always want to work with other trans people, so if you would like to work together or would like any advice I'm more than happy to chat. I didn't attend university and left school young, so I'm especially interested in discussing ways into the music industry without formal education.
