Yeah it’s raining… Yeah it’s not the original carnival… but what better way to spend a rainy Sunday afternoon than diverse live music, top tier DJs, banging street food and good company?!?!?! Might catch man on mic duties hosting this event tomorrow, set up as an alternative to the Cowley Carnival, ready to pop off! @inspiresounds_uk @mes_graffiti_crew @innerpeacerecords

Challenging the comfortable, dropping some home truths and an honest look at myself in front of a big crowd wasn’t easy. Big up @hayfestival for having me… I hope to be back next year! Bless my bro @adamtattonreid on the snaps 🔥

Yes! Safe to say the roof came off on the BBC Marquee at @hayfestival - thanks again for letting me come and show a hopefully new sound to a lot of people! P.s - one step closer to getting my children’s book out there 😁👌🏻#hayfestival2024

Pleased to announce I’m performing at the prestigious @hayfestival at the end of this month… A 20 minute collection of rap, spoken word and even a reading from my children’s story, journeying through my own quest to find my authentic self, detailing some of the trials and tribulations I as well as many other young men face on their road to fulfillment. Thanks to the Hay team for getting me down, link in bio for tickets 🎟️ @lukedraperphoto 📸🔥 #hayfestival #hayfestival2024 #hayonwye

Hosting at the @cmpndtnt show few weeks back, not really bothered with music anymore, but fun to be around it and set pace on the mic occasionally Shot by @its.big.si at @unearthoxford 🫶

I’m going to put out a spoken word piece before Christmas. It’s a track I’ve been performing in different incarnations for 4 years. It will be accompanied by a short film with live soundtrack. Was fun MCing at @unearthoxford few weeks ago… Shouts @its.big.si on the 📸

I started writing bars when I was about ten or eleven.. Since then I’ve been featured on national TV and radio, supported some of my biggest influencing artists and performed to thousands of people… But the dream for me as a yout was always to get featured on @sbtvonline for a warm up session…. Huge blessings to the SB team, I wish I’d got to show this one to Jamal too - utmost respect to his memory 💪🏻💿📼🎤

Been doing this, part of the main piece in an exhibition from award winning director Penny Woolcock at Modern Art Oxford - I’ll never forget that call from a reporter at The New York Times… My lyrics have taken me to so many opportunities, it’s only right if I put something new out soon 👀
