It used to be hard because people thought that they had to do a certain thing like folk or indie to get into the industry but people like us and Sage Todz are making a different type of music.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sage Todz is a North Wales rapper who worked on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=U5sQGDKCL2Q\">Welsh language rap in collaboration with the Football Association of Wales (FAW) <\/a> for the World Cup last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have a show on Radio Cymru 2 every Friday, and we play all types of Welsh music, we play rap, we play pop, we play indie,&#8221; said Dom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe class=\"zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load\" title=\"Lloyd &amp; Dom James \u2013 Pwy Sy&#039;n Galw?\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"about:blank\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/y-3StJcrrqU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"Lloyd &amp; Dom James \u2013 Pwy Sy&#039;n Galw?\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/y-3StJcrrqU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Lloyd &amp; Dom James&#8217; rap single <em>Pwy Sy&#8217;n Galw?<\/em>\/Who&#8217;s Calling?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think we do need to do more to celebrate Welsh music.

people think that Welsh music is just one thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have so many amazing opportunities with the <a href=\"http:\/\/eisteddfod.wales\">Eisteddfod<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/maesb.com\/en\/\">Maes B<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/tafwyl.org\/?lang=en\">Tafwyl<\/a> not just to perform but also to discover who you are as a growing artist.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hana&#8217;s discography features both Welsh and English songs but she says that her Welsh heritage influences all of her music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think that the cool thing is that because I\u2019m back and forth from London it\u2019s made me realise how proud I am to be Welsh and how it\u2019s a big part of my artistry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like Dom, Hana believes that there has been an increase in the variety of Welsh music over recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s definitely something that I\u2019ve noticed has improved,&#8221; she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You see a lot of new artists coming out and trying new things and I think that, in combination with the fact that we can just make and release our own music now, has definitely led to an evolution of new genres in Wales.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/embed?mid=1Jtyk1eLsW3zZhz2RWRhuUM-p7Ttaw1o&amp;ehbc=2E312F\" width=\"640\"
