Why we need to re-examine the phrase white passing: Becca Dudley on flying the flag for reggae and having your authenticity questioned

Mixed Up

The one where they expect you to play Britney Spears because they think you're a white girl 

Emma and Nicole speak to Becca Dudley, a DJ and TV presenter who has been in the music industry for over a decade. Becca has Jamaican, British and German heritage, and set up the platform Deadly to showcase the best of reggae, dancehall and grime, and to shine a light up-and-coming artists.

They discuss being misidentified, having your authenticity questioned, imposter syndrome, coming out online to different communities and the fear of being labelled a 'culture vulture'.
