Kema Sikazwe – Music workshop in County Durham

Kema is back in action with us again this term, working with a community youth rock band, at Jack Drum Arts, in Crook on 1st November. The group is a mixed age group, from 14 to 25 years old, who meet regularly.

Kema Sikazwe was brought up in the West End of Newcastle upon Tyne. He developed a passion for rap, singing, and song writing, which he developed in a local youth project where he spent most of his time as a teenager. It was not until his early 20s he became interested in acting where he went on to land a leading role in BAFTA, BIFA Palme D’or award-winning film ‘I Daniel Blake’.

Kema is a Board member for Gateway Studio in Gateshead, a community space for people from all backgrounds and journeys, who believe that inclusivity in the arts has the power to bring communities together, to change lives and kickstart careers.
