Two BNE Freestyle Artists who'd never met. Roman MC & Huda the Goddess, Creator Tales 025

Creator Tales from Kaju Creative

This Creator Tales episode is going to be quite different. Instead of the signature session with Dylan hosting a conversation with one artist, this time we are throwing two artists on the table to meet and hold space themselves. It's rare to find improvisational performance artists and yet here are two in the same city who have never met. For our 25th Creator Tales podcast we wanted to capture this moment of these creative powerhouses meeting for the first time with a flowing, electric and deep conversation that only two artists like Roman MC and Huda the Goddess could have. Their two bios are listed here: Huda The Goddess is the 2022 Australia Poetry Slam Champion and two-time QLD champ. Huda is a spoken word poet, educator, mental health advocate, dancer and workshop facilitator. she describes poetry as one of her senses that has allowed her to turn her experiences into art. and maintain her connection to her people. Roman MC is an award-winning artist, freestyle MC, and storyteller who has been performing on international stages and engaging with diverse audiences for over a decade. Alongside a career in higher education and award-winning outreach programs workshopping with primary and high school students around aspiration, pathways, and careers, Roman MC has engaged with diverse communities across Australia and abroad using creativity and self-expression as vehicles for the development of self-belief, resilience, and a growth mindset. As an active lead performer in nationally renowned acts like BULLHORN brass band and the breakthrough improvisation project Life On Earth, to the internationally-acclaimed urban circus 360 Allstars, Roman’s explosive freestyle rap performances have impacted audiences from Australia to Asia, and Europe - including sold-out solo performances at Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Scotland (Best Of Fest ‘18). Roman MC has also held the first formal tertiary education role of Rap Lecturer in South East QLD at JMC Academy Brisbane. As a storyteller and freelance filmmaker, Roman MC has made award-winning short films and documented the stories of global communities while empowering new storytellers teaching filmmaking at the University of Queensland and the Queensland University of Technology, while also empowering global communities across the Pacific, Middle East, Europe, and America through an innovative global storytelling tech startup (Folktale). Whether you are an aspiring artist experiencing a transformative one-on-one masterclass, a workshop participant at an arts festival, a school student embracing the power of showing up in life for a rewarding career, or an organisation building your team’s resilience and relationship in a fun and creative way - Roman MC is above all things a passionate human, encourager, and a champion of creative expression as a way of sharing one’s voice and story.
