About us

We are GSD, we work tirelessly in and around Doncaster, driven by our passion to elevate the city’s music scene and cultivate consistent creative opportunities within our community. Collaborating closely with local organisations, we’re dedicated to fostering creativity among the youth in Doncaster.

Our mission is to achieve these objectives through various means, including live music events, music production, providing accessible creative spaces, showcasing art installations and exhibitions, offering diverse workshops, and implementing community initiatives.

One of our proudest accomplishments thus far has been our role in nurturing a thriving ‘rap scene’ in Doncaster, filling a significant gap in the city’s cultural landscape. This initiative has empowered numerous artists, providing them with a supportive platform to showcase their talent and flourish. Through partnerships with organisations such as Artbomb, Right Up Our Street, Journey Education, Epic Doncaster Red Everywhere, and TEDx Doncaster, we continue to invigorate and enrich Doncaster’s creative community.
