should’ve just done the voiceover myself - temu David Attenborough has 2 much 2 say 😒
thought it was time for an intro/ reintro/ reminder.
hello hi ✌🏾
#k2rah #multihyphenate #slashie #creativeentrepreneur
my default response to recognition, compliments etc is to be self-deprecating and deflect, but I’m not going to do that this time, I’m going to accept it and just say thank you. thank you @ymbawards and @aim_uk for this award.
entrepreneurship ain’t for everybody (and that’s ok) - it’s a never ending learning curve with high highs and low lows. I feel very blessed that essentially my love for sharing music, telling stories & connecting people has turned into the most unexpected, multi-faceted, rewarding career.
over the years Forward Slash has expanded from just strategy to delivering campaigns end-to-end, studio productions, educational products and now 1-on-1 consulting - partly because I saw gaps that needed to be filled in the market, and partly out of necessity in such a rapidly changing industry. some L’s, some Ws - it is what it is.
I think the biggest lesson I’ve learned to date is to be clear on your vision and be willing to evolve and adapt when the things out of your control change. basically, stay on your toes while staying ten toes down.
enough said! thank you to the Forward Slash gang right back to 2019, and once again thank you to Young Music Boss Awards 🫶🏾
FULL LINE-UP JUST DROPPED.

There is only 100 tickets left for this show. Act fast.
Q1 went from cocooning to chaotic with the quickness.
healing, plotting, reflecting, learning, building, leading, touring, livinggg.
spring is officially here so I’m ready to hit play on 2026 now. Happy New Year! 🌸
a few days ago someone told me I don’t sound like I’m from Manchester 🙃 (liesss). just know that however long I’m away from the city I’ll always come back home!
it’s been a minute since I was on the ground in Manny for music tings, so I’m happy to be part of the line-up for the MOBO Summit. I’ll be yapping on the Advice for Music Entrepreneurs panel on Tuesday alongside the OGs @itsdanny.xyz , @j3nnag and others.
free tickets via @MOBOFringe 🤝
For DJ, radio host and @forwardslashinc founder K2RAH, Black electronic music is an umbrella that stretches across continents and club cultures, connecting Chicago house and Detroit techno to UK garage, jungle, baile funk, amapiano, gqom and countless emerging hybrids in between.

I swear, the next time I touchdown in Dubai or UAE I’ll know more Arabic than ‘yalla habibi’ 😊.

CARIBBEAN CHRISTMAS 2025
my favourite time of the year in London and the only time I’ll make the international voyage to west London without complaining.
the place where you can be dancing 1 metre away from your peoples and never cross paths, or where with every other step you bump into people you haven’t seen all year. didn’t get nearly enough videos but the vibes was right 💜
last slide: had to drop in my fave throwback to when my knees would keep me on the roads all day and at the afters til the next morning.
