Conakry is a south-Swedish artist, born in Malmö, raised in Lund. He has actively climbed the Swedish music-scene since the end of 2013 and has, efter the debut of his first EP ”Kära Framtid” (Beloved Future) kept on establishing his name as an artist to look out for. 2016 he became one of the finalists in the biggest spoken word competition of Sweden called Ortens bästa poet (The best poet of the projects) and got co-signed by several of the scenes biggest artists following the release of the song "Yams". 
 Passing 2017 and into 2018 he marked himself for being one of the most diverse new cats from the south of Sweden not only writing for himself and other artists but also producing, directing movies, co-authoring books, writing for theaters, doing lectures and workshops at schools, and being politically active in questions of race equality, sexuality, drug policies and much more. Nominated for not one but three awards following his second EP "Återfall, Åter Faller Vi" (Relapse, Again We Fall), Conakry is definitely a name to look out for.
