Caius Pawson founded Young in 2005, initially as a series of raves and gigs. While always maintaining the spirit of those formative years, Young now works across a broad spectrum of the arts. Via the Young record label, publishing and artist management setups, Caius worked with the likes of The xx, Jamie xx, Sampha, FKA twigs, Kamasi Washington, SBTRKT and El Guincho among others. Meanwhile, Young’s evolution and diversification has seen them producing festivals, short films, contemporary ballets and an assortment of other artistic activities. Caius is also a Director at XL Recordings, where he signed Tyler the Creator. He also A&R’d Frank Ocean’s Endless.

I wanted to find the most effective solutions to climate change and all roads kept leading to ClientEarth. I expected to find a room full of lawyers, powdered short wigs and tomes of unreadable text. Instead I found a world class team of experts, from all walks of life, imbued with the sort of zeal you can only get when saving the world. No climate anxiety here, just a cold realistic view on the size of the problem, an endless supply of ideas on how to best deal with them. Their work is focussed on making the most impact possible and has led to huge structural change for the benefit of our planet and all its inhabitants. I couldn’t be more proud to be helping them in their vital work.
