One of the UK’s most successful new producers, Naughty Boy, has been revealed as the face of ‘Make Beats Not War’, a unique music project to celebrate the launch of the Lynx Peace range. The project will see Naughty Boy bring together three leading artists, Professor Green, Laura Mvula and Wilkinson, to create one exclusive track, all in the name of peace.

This unique project will culminate in the production of a music video featuring all contributors, coming together for the first time.

 

Naughty Boy, said: “I’ve always known that I wanted to make beats, it’s just been a feeling in me. I don’t control the inspiration, I let the inspiration control me. By working with Lynx on the Make Beats project, I hope to inspire more people with an interest in music production to learn more about their interest and go on to embrace their freedom to be creative and pursue their passion.”

David Titman, Marketing Manager at Lynx commented: “The aim of this campaign is to encourage ‘our guys’ to explore their passion points, and we feel that Naughty Boy embodies this drive perfectly. His passion for music, and the resulting success he has enjoyed by committing his focus on a pursuit he loves is a great example of the effectiveness of embracing peaceful and proactive ambition.”
