Artist’s Statement: “As a fine artist and a hairstylist plaiting hair has always been part of my life. Over the years it has my area of research and art practice.I am fascinated by arrangements, patterns, and different textures. My mission has always been more than making women beautiful, I am committed through my work to portray a sense of confidence and contentment and reflect issues of shame, stereotypes and insults relating to hair, African hair.

In my work, I use a wide range of mediums from linocut, etching, paper making and synthetic hair on paper. With my etchings and linocuts, I present the timeous and laborious process that I go through when plaiting hair. Hair can be a symbol of one’s identity it has the power to dictate how a person is seen.”

In this rushed world where everyone wants everything instantly, this song is just about that. Needing more time, hurrying from one thing to the next & at the core craving to just reconnect with yourself.

A healthy parent shapes a healthy family ❤️

Being in love and loving someone else is one of the best feelings ever. Give me your love is a collaboration song I did with UK band The Perics and crazy about this song 💕

Songwriting is a creative process where you go where the lyrics and melody leads you. Mixology Monkey was originally a jingle I made for a friend and thereafter decided to flesh it out into a full song.
