  • After forming Chase and Status, Will decided to focus solely on their music. In that time Will taught music technology at North Trafford College for two years part time, and he remarks that the talent of the students from underprivileged backgrounds at that college was his inspiration to found the East London Arts and Music School (ELAM) in 2014.
    The school is in Tower Hamlets, one of the poorest areas in East London, and the aim of the school is to develop the musical talent in the area for 16-19 year old students from socially disadvantaged backgrounds.
    Will talks about educational inequalities, social mobility and the role that creativity plays in shaping the lives of young people, with the belief that music is a central way to educate the next generation. Will 'Status' Kennard is one half of the infamous music duo, Chase and Status, that is responsible for propelling the drum and bass genre into mass popularity with chart-topping hits such as 'Blind Faith' and 'End Credits'. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    Great to see musicians such as Will working positively with our government, showing how electronic music culture can positively impact education, the economy & social mobility. More of this please!

    Thanks for showing your business side, Chase & Status went onto a new highest level of respect and admiration, I’m a professional DJ from Tampa FL, USA, and this talk is one of the most inspiring in 2020.
    God Bless!

    Great stuff William! In seeking and offering a real, positive musical future to kids in an area where they might not have one. By creating ELAM, you and your brother have achieved truly amazing results. Long may it continue!
