PAIN RHYME

‘Til it becomes

POETRY.


ARTIST CORNER

Hey, nice to see you here :)

Living by my ethos, 'Make Your Pain Rhyme Until It Becomes Poetry,' I'm an artist at the intersection of film and music telling ‘ugly’ stories in beautiful ways. I create because life is both glorious and tragic, and art is my means to articulate our nuanced existences.

I was brought up a black boy by bi-racial, lesbian parents in the predominantly white city of Cambridge, as a result my early confrontations with various discriminations inspired me to create art that defies labels and breaks out of the imaginary “box”.
