Get Off My Throne - with Jesswar

Goooooood morning!


On today's episode Ayeesha is joined by phenomenal rapper
Jesswar.


Jesswar is making huge moves in the music industry. A proud
Fijian, Jesswar is defining where Rap is evolving towards. Their
refusal of prescribed definitions is the foundation on which they
build their universe. Deeply inspired by their chosen community
and their experiences; they uses music as the vessel of
storytelling. Their pride reflects on her resilience and
resourcefulness and defends the notions of holistic codependency
and kinship. Having released their widely acclaimed first single
“Savage” in 2017, they has collaborated with the likes of DZ
Deathrays, Tasha the Amazon & Briggs, and performed at
Laneway, Splendour in the Grass and Groovin the Moo. The first
member of their family to attend University, Jesswar is a peer
support worker and runs music workshops for young people in the
outer suburbs of Meanjin. 


Jess shares on how and why they makes music, what it’s like being
a rapper of colour in the music industry, growing up on the Gold
Coast, going to uni at 16 (!!!) and a whole lot more!
