My landmark exhibition Road Gals got me a lot of attention at the time, it was picked up by blogs, radios, and magazines and was noticed by Etta Bond, Radar Radio, Kiosk Magazine and Photographers Gallery.
I was also publicly championed as one of the most significant interdisciplinary artists of the 21st century in the UK and went on to do Pirates Live - an installation piece at Rich Mix.

My proficiency in beatboxing and in particular live-looping got me performing in front of the Mayor of Haringey and some of the Paralympic Champions in 2023. I got commissioned to teach live-looping and to this date have taught over 2000+ people how to live-loop through workshops, teaching and online.
Wellcome Collection, INIVA, UAL, Goldsmiths and London Metropolitan Archives acquired my literature pieces ‘Everythin is Temporary’ and ‘Bro, Papi, Son’ ‘Hoodrat’ and ‘U, Me, Anxiety'. These pieces are archived as an integral part of contemporary UK history and it’s a massive accomplishment to have these pieces preserved.

I’m also well-known for my artwork and visual pieces. As my work spans many disciplines, I’ve produced striking pieces about growing up inner city London and managed to sell the original version of my highly-sought after piece CRY L8R to a private buyer. I’ve exhibited in Theatre Deli, Rich Mix and my work’s been sold in Latin America, Spain, Canada and Gambia.

5th image: 4EVA Tour
My biggest accomplishment to date was to single-handedly organise and deliver the 4EVA Tour, which saw me perform across the UK and Spain as part of the Tour. I had a team of about 25 people and managed a budget of about £55k to bring it to life. The best thing was performing back in my hometown Barcelona and adapting the setlist to Spanish and Catalan.
