London, UK

Neo soul music artist with Hiphop, rnb , soul and gospel influences from a young age. Having come to U.K. as a child on my mothers passport I later lost my own passport and was unable to replace it. Iv had to live in U.K. for 15 years without being able to get normal jobs because of my ID. I have indefinite leave to remain but can’t fly out anywhere and most companies will not accept my mums expired passport. So it’s been a hustle to get where I am today and I have some amazing mentors and friends. I am writing this to shed some light and raise awareness to my situation and for others that are stranded in the U.K. without passport ID or biometric and get no straight forward support from the embassies. My creativity is a release and perhaps my only ticket out of hardship.
