Faith Shikanga aka “Shikkiey” is a Kenyan artist who has been writing and performance for the last two years ago. She is the December 2015 Slam Africa champion and her goal is to inspire people to be the best versions of themselves. Shikkiey has also performed at Eve of Poetry, Poetry Spot, Fatuma’s Voice and Koch Festival, among others.

Ghanaian poet, activist, and rapper, Delasi’s talents are manifested into a conscious artistry ranging from invigorating performances, youth development workshops, community activism, and, most importantly, his music. In 2013, he hosted two workshops in Jamestown at the Chale Wote Street Arts Festival and has been guest lecturer in the University of Ghana twice sharing his music and knowledge. Delasi has also had album listening parties in Berlin, Nairobi and in Accra performing song from his most recent project, #ThoughtJourney, a one-hour-fusion of R&B, Soul and Hip-hop, Afrobeats, Pop and Jazz influences coupled with tales from the modern, African, male consciousness.
