Biography

S’BO GYRE, the Entertainment Specialist, is SA Hip Hop’s Remontada! Described by many as a lyrical powerhouse and a true sonic maverick, the Johannesburg, South Africa-based musician is a must-see performer. Themes of identity, spirituality and wellness encapsulate the music of the self-proclaimed “jackPOT of all trades.” His latest project, ALTAR CALL, speaks to the power of courage and the importance of hearing a calling. The multi-talented rapper oozes a sophisticated swagger that is both earnest yet sassy, gritty yet smooth and with an alluring sense of self, accentuated by his brazen confidence as an openly gay rapper in Africa! “I believe existence is resistance. That’s why I can make music that speaks to all even as a gay man. Ultimately, people are drawn to authenticity and I embody it.” Having made history as the first openly gay South African rapper to grace the stage of South Africa’s premier hip hop festival main stage - Back To The City, he has continuously broken boundaries and rubber stamped himself as the most exciting emerging hip hop act from the country. Global Citizen named him a top 5 artist to watch, he’s performed at Basha Uhuru, toured Switzerland alongside Moonchild Sanelly, headlined JAGERMEISTER’s Night Embassy and co-wrote the Nkoli: Vogue Opera with Emmy nominated composer- Philip Miller. S’BO GYRE will reshape the landscape of South African hip hop. A generational talent with boundless potential. @gyre_sa on all social platforms.
