Get Off My Throne - with Jesswar

Goooooood morning!

On today's episode Ayeesha is joined by phenomenal rapper Jesswar.

Jesswar is making huge moves in the music industry. A proud Fijian, Jesswar is defining where Rap is evolving towards. Their refusal of prescribed definitions is the foundation on which they build their universe. Deeply inspired by their chosen community and their experiences; they uses music as the vessel of storytelling. Their pride reflects on her resilience and resourcefulness and defends the notions of holistic codependency and kinship. Having released their widely acclaimed first single “Savage” in 2017, they has collaborated with the likes of DZ Deathrays, Tasha the Amazon & Briggs, and performed at Laneway, Splendour in the Grass and Groovin the Moo. The first member of their family to attend University, Jesswar is a peer support worker and runs music workshops for young people in the outer suburbs of Meanjin. 

Jess shares on how and why they makes music, what it’s like being a rapper of colour in the music industry, growing up on the Gold Coast, going to uni at 16 (!!!) and a whole lot more!
