Joe Goddard x Jessie Ware Team Up

As part of Bacardi Beginnings

Joe Goddard and Jessie Ware are set to team up as part of Bacardi Beginnings.

Set to celebrate its 150th birthday this year, Bacardi are planning to celebrate with a tonne of live music. Launching the Bacardi Beginnings campaign, the brand are intent on helping new artists progress.

Hiring three mentors, Bacardi Beginnings will be overseen by Joe Goddard, Mylo and Friendly Fires. Stepping up to the plate, Joe Goddard is set to pair off with fast rising newcomer Jessie Ware.

The exact details of the project are unclear, although in the press release Bacardi do state that it could be “producing an exclusive remix, putting on a gig in an unusual location or creating a compelling collaboration”.

Joe Goddard and Jessie Ware will have a £10,000 budget to work with – tempting, to say the least. “When BACARDI asked me who I’d like to mentor for BACARDI Beginnings I had no hesitation in naming Jessie. She’s a real star in the making and I can’t wait to get into the studio with her” Joe Goddard explained recently.

“I was so flattered when I found out that Joe wanted to work with me for BACARDI Beginnings”, Jessie Ware added. “I’ve always been a huge Hot Chip fan and the 2 Bears album is one of my favourites of 2012 so far.”

Jessie Ware and Joe Goddard are set to play a Bacardi birthday party in London on July 10th.
