Rawz is an MC and Poet. Growing up in one of the UK’s most deprived areas, he first discovered lyric writing in his early teens. It was an essential way to channel his emotions and organise his thoughts. A self guided therapy. Since then, Rawz has performed his craft all over Europe both as a solo artist, and with the Inner Peace Records collective which he helped to form alongside other artists from Oxford and London’s hip hop scenes in 2015. He has collaborated with musicians from all over the world and shared stages with some of his childhood heroes. Rawz’ music and lyrics share his exploration of our interconnected worlds, and his responses to them, promoting outer change and advancement through inner reflection and positive action. Rawz does this while covering an unlimited range of topics including love, capitalism, nature, community, crime, science, religion and more. An experienced youth worker and teacher, Rawz set up The Urban Music Foundation in 2009, through which he delivers mentoring services, tutoring, lyric writing, poetry, music and arts workshops, artistic and musical commissions, character education projects, film and video work, community research projects, consultancy and other creativity focused endeavours in a wide variety of settings.
