The video:

Her recent video clip was filmed in Fiji to showcase the beauty of Fiji. The style of music is electronic hip-hop/ trap which is a contemporary sound. The song and the video provide a beautiful contrast of the urban and the island and talks of the nine to five that we all face but encourage us all to take a break…in Fiji perhaps? The locations include Uprising Fiji, The Pearl and the areas between Pacific Harbour and Momi Bay. This song and video also features the Fiji 7s team and aims to motivate listeners to strive for excellence, whilst also alluding to the effects of climate change in the Pacific.

The event is by Invitation only and will take place in Suva, Fiji in July 2017.

Mic check 1, 2, 1, 2…

Such an honour to be in the presence of great women. Bankstown Arts Centre and Vyva entertainment invited us to speak on all things hip hop and female. Of course the convos got deep with the discussions delving into the ideas of feminism within hip hop whilst drawing on our personal experiences. Very interesting – and perhaps the beginning of a new space for female hip hop dialogue an expression? TBC…
