A Scots man who founded a social enterprise after losing his friend to suicide has been named in the Forbes 30 under 30 European list for social impact.
Robbie said: “A massive influence for setting up TT was when a friend took his own life. It was a lightbulb moment as DJing helped me to overcome that and deal with the loss and that motivated me to set up TTT so that others could benefit in the same way.” “They get to create their own music as an art form that allows them to express themselves. A lot of the young people have had bad life experiences and have not had anyone really listen to and value them.
At the end of the programme, participants are often able to perform at live gigs or festivals under the TTT label, with many going on to become mentors or volunteers. “I got word that Robbie was doing classes and after initially meeting him I decided to sign up for a 12 week course. Since doing this I have progressed into DJing at some prestigious venues, and have even started to get paid for some gigs.
