A bit more about the artists...
MoYah, an Afro-fusion artist hailing from war-torn Mozambique, stands as a testament to resilience and creativity. Forced to flee his homeland amidst a 16-year conflict, he found solace in the diverse musical palette provided by his parents and the impactful world of Rap while in Lisbon. Renowned for his electrifying performances, MoYah seamlessly blends hard-hitting rap lyrics with high-energy Afro-beats. His music, featured on BBC One, and television channels in Portugal, Mozambique and Senegal, speaks not only of personal journey but fosters community cohesion, empathy and a celebration of perseverance.
MoYah’s accolades include the prestigious 21 for 21 award, recognizing him as a faith-based leader breaking barriers and fostering dialogue in the 21st century. Designated as the Hip Hop Ambassador of May Project Gardens in 2021, MoYah actively contributes to this grassroots environmental organization, empowering marginalized communities globally to reconnect with nature, address poverty, disempowerment, and access to resources. MoYah's journey transcends music, embodying a fusion of resilience, artistry, and social impact.
Meanwhile, KMT The Freedom Teacher, a Hip Hop virtuoso and environmental conservationist, takes the stage with a unique blend of beats and a passion for the planet. Since designing the community led food growing space May project Gardens, KMT mentors youth from marginalised and underrepresented communities , fusing the worlds of Hip Hop and environmentalism to ignite a flame of conservation through music.
