Yarden

Yarden’s creative journey is rooted in the innate desire to express himself – no matter what. Whether it was learning how to produce and make music through YouTube videos, overcoming his social anxiety as a teenager to engage in playground rap battles or striving to create a safe space both online and offline for creatives to engage in discourse in his home country Nigeria. What defines his artistry more than this desire for freedom of expression however, is the resilience and ingenuity he’s displayed thus far, making a way for himself and for others when there seems to be none.
