James Mabbett aka Napoleon IIIrd joined us in October 2020 to talk to us about his ever-evolving career as a musician, sound artist and all-round creative. Napoleon IIIrd first received Launchpad support in April 2020 and performed at a Virtual House Gig in May that year.

We mainly focused on the intricacies of applying for the Developing Your Creative Practice fund from Arts Council England, which supports individuals who are cultural and creative practitioners and want to take time to focus on their creative development. We talked about his experiences applying for the fund and the freedom that it allowed him to work on his creative practice.
