She is an extraordinary poet, rapper and singer. Describing her art as her “inner guide to personal freedom”, she started writing when she was 12 years old – attending poetry and hip hop shows religiously. Having become an avid reader, she fell in love with words and discovered their power to shape all of existence. She believes that “the word is the strongest medium because not only does it speak to the mind, it also speaks to the soul.” She started performing as an emcee before she did as a poet, at cyphers in Ghandi Square and at Le Club. She believes that hip hop served as an unlimited resourced in her life, constantly providing her with challenges and the strength to deal with her own reality. She then started rapping in different venues and became one of the first female emcees that the Jozi hip hop community paid attention to, often being the only female alongside male emcees. She is currently working on her own album which is due for release in June 2008 and is featured on other hip hop projects such as, the Abomrapper II and the Classix compliation albums, also due for release in 2008.

Represent Recommends: Mbongeni Buthelezi
Join Dr. Ralf Seippel and international artist Mbongeni Buthelezi for an evening engaging in artistic and social contemporary dialogue @ Seippel Gallery in downtown Jozi on December 11. Click on the flyer for more info. In Ubunthu be plastiki, Mbongeni lets go of the burdens of his childhood a series of paintings that illustrates the ambiguity and deep rooted emotions of an ordinary global, but specifically African childhood. “When I discovered who I was, I asked myself if my parents ever loved me, I was FREE! It was a journey of force that speaks the universal language of any childhood” he says. Stength and dignity characterise this work of mind and soul. The juxtaposition of a happy colourful childhood next to the real life black and white paintings captures emotion and drama of an ordinary child. It has the power to arouse curiosity. He goes on to say the process of painting these pieces was “like a gandaganda dig that made me feel closure and bid farewell to the burdens of my childhood.” Date: 11 December Time: 19h00 – 21h00 Venue: Seippel Gallery, 72 – 82 End street, Doornfontein Contact: hlengiwe@gmail.com/ qhakazalu@yahoo.com...
