Dua Lipa and other music icons who broke through in or had their careers shaped by Camden will appear in a new Disney+ documentary about the area.
The streaming service has announced a series of new programmes for its platform, including one episode about Camden, which will also feature musician Mark Ronson and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.
Directed by Asif Kapadia, the documentary will tell the stories of artists who were shaped by the London borough, with a slew of musicians set to star, including The Libertines’ Pete Doherty and American musician Questlove.
Dua Lipa still lives nearby, having recently won permission for changes to her West Hampstead home after a near two-year battle.
Other musicians confirmed to feature in the series include rapper Little Simz, Chic co-founder Nile Rodgers, Culture Club’s Boy George, singer Yungblud, pop group Black Eyed Peas, British DJ Jazzie B, grime and punk inspired duo Bob Vylan, Public Enemy’s Chuck D and Faithless musician Sister Bliss.
A teaser reads: “How has a small corner of North London changed music as we know it?
“This evocative series will reveal the extraordinary untold stories of how the lives and careers of many of today’s most iconic music acts were shaped by Camden, alongside some of the careers that were broken by it.
“With access to some of the biggest music stars in the world whose lives were changed forever by this tiny part of London, this series will finally give Camden the recognition it deserves on a global stage.”
A release date for the series is yet to be announced.
