Rhyme &
rhythm

Where the spoken word meets live percussion. I play the pulse on the drums and a wordsmith carries the story - rhyme and rhythm answering each other like two voices in one track. Fully live, with no backing track, and different every single time.

How the act works

The word gives the story, the drums give the pulse

01

The word takes the stage

The spoken word opens the story - immediate and sharp, with no backing track. The audience listens, because every line is real.

02

Rhythm answers

Live drums pick the words up and build a pulse around them - rhyme and rhythm start talking to each other like two voices in one track.

03

The audience is in

The act grows into a playful dialogue with the room too - the best moments are born on the spot, with the audience, and never repeat quite the same way.

Why rhyme & rhythm

Something your audience hasn't seen before

  • An unexpected pairing. Rap and live drums on one stage is a format most of the audience meets for the first time - and it stays with them.
  • Completely live. No backing track, no playback - every word and every beat is born on the spot, giving the act an immediate energy.
  • Playful and engaging. The act talks to the room - the energy moves both ways between stage and audience.
  • A flexible format. I adapt the content and mood to the event - from a sharp club programme to a friendly company-party set.
