From a corporate law office to the stage at indigo at The O2.

“I remember going into the office and I’d be playing music in my earphones, and I was just dreaming of being somewhere, anywhere, making music, singing.”

Kima Otung’s story is a reminder of what can happen when you start taking steps towards the life you actually want.

She did what was expected of her. She became a corporate lawyer. But the dream of making music never disappeared.

So she took the first step.

Then another.

Years later, her face was on billboards around The O2. She became the Black Welsh Music Awards Best Single winner for “I’m Cute”. And then she stood on the stage at indigo at The O2 as part of our Winners & Founders Showcase.

“I was on billboards around The O2, and now I’m on the stage in The O2.”

That journey is exactly why moments like this matter.

Sometimes the distance between the life you are living and the life you dream about begins with simply deciding to take the first step.

Kima Otung. From corporate law to The O2.

And what a journey it has been.
